HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE

Classmates, friends, teachers, ladies and gentlemen, lend me your ears. I`m standing here in front of you to express my
deep sympathy and sorrow to those people who commits suicide, to those who doesn`t value their lives in their past.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me say this to you. That you can be happy if you will only choose to be. But if you choose to
be sad and stay with all the negative things here on earth you will be like a zombie. You are alive but you are not living!
Hmm…..sounds creepy right? Yes! It is indeed true that 90 percent of your happiness depends on how you react on things and
ladies and gentlemen do not forget that it does not depend on the situation you are in.

Let me share to you the 90/10 principle. It states that 10 percent of your happiness is automatic you are experiencing.
Where`s the 90 percent? Well it comes from how you react on things! Do you agree? Do you want to be happy? Sure, you can be.
You want to be happy? Of course you can be. It is your choice. There are lot of things that we cannot control in our lives.

Yet, depending on our choices, we can still be happy in spite of what is happening around us. You see different person
from very similar situation but with very different reaction. The other could be very happy, the other could not be.

Happiness is a choice. Yea, indeed it is a choice. No one is exempted to the failures, misfortunes, and problems here on
Earth. But here`s the thing, God did not give you that problem if he knows you cannot overcome it. Instead of always
complaining about it, thank God for the challenge he has trusted you to overcome.

The only thing we can do to those things that are out of our control and power is to surrender it all to God. Life is full
of miracles. And if you expect a lot, expect also that there is always disappointment but that does not matter anymore because the
good thing there is, you already know how to deal with life. Laugh, cry, sigh, but don`t forget to smile again. Laugh at your
mistakes. Do not be too hard on yourself. Everything here on Earth is temporary so be happy for everything. If you are
experiencing suffering at this moment just think of this “everything is temporary”.
