Happiness Is A Skill And A Choice. It’s just like building muscle or succeeding at your job. “happiness is a choice you make and a skill you develop.”.

You decide that it’s important to you, you prioritise it above all else, you continue to learn and try out new ideas and you. Striving for things we really want can make us feel happy, provided the goals are realistic. It was never a choice to to be or not to be depressed, but the culmination of fifteen years of small choices that atrophied my resilience.
