About This Quote
Happiness is a choice, not a result of circumstance. A person who tries to avoid difficult situations by putting himself in a position where he is unhappy may be a fool. If a person wants to be happy, he must choose happiness. For example, if a man gets a promotion at work after working hard for many years, he may be upset if his wife gets pregnant.
In that case, he would likely say that it was the work that brought him happiness and that the baby was nothing but a distraction from his real goal. This is foolish thinking because the baby was an outcome of the man’s actions – something that was brought about by his choices. He chose to be happy by working hard at his job and he chose to have a family – one of the most important decisions a man can make.
Choosing happiness means accepting some things as part of life even when they are not easy at the time. However, choosing unhappiness means refusing to accept anything good in your life simply because some other things are not so good.
