Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day. It is a choice based on the knowledge that we belong to God and have found in God our refuge and our safety and that nothing, not even death, can take God away from us.

Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind…In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.

Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.

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.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.

Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice.

Just like fitness can be a choice, health can be a choice, nutrition can be a choice, and working hard and making money can be a choice, happiness can be a choice as well.

The choice to have a great attitude is something that nobody or no circumstance can take from you.

Philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

Happiness can be reached by choice and how you look at life.

To make the growth choice instead of the fear choice a dozen times a day is to move a dozen times a day towards self-actualisation.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

Serenity comes from the ability to say Yes to existence. Courage comes from the ability to say No to the wrong choices made by others.

There’s no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.

The more we refuse to buy into our inner critics – and our external ones too – the easier it will get to have confidence in our choices, and to feel comfortable with who we are.

In life there are no problems, that is, objective and external choices; there is only the life which we do not resolve as a problem but which we live as an experience, whatever the final result may be.

It’s not a choice between our environment and our economy; it’s a choice between prosperity and decline.
