happy every day

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." - Groucho Marx

I had this on my Facebook today... seemed to be quite popular...


It's sometimes a hard thing to remember that we have the power ever single God-given day to choose whether or not it will be happy. We tend to remember the dead yesterdays and dwell on their happenings too much, or focus too much on the tomorrows which have not even come to fruition. Remembering to live in the now, to be mindful of where our mind and feelings are, only then can we be really happy :)
