The times when I find I'm the happiest are not precisely when something outside of me is causing it but when I feel content with who I am and where I am in life at this time. When I am content with my body as it is with it's marks but still fully functional and when I am glad for a beautiful daughter who is healthy. I have been in hard times where I don't have those things and I have learned that I can still be content with where I am. When I speak of contentment I'm not saying that I don't desire to do anything to improve my body (exercise) or my place in life (working hard to improve it). It only means that I'm not worrying about what someone else has way beyond me and feeling unhappy that I don't have that. Does that all make sense to you? I can choose to be content and I can choose to be happy. Emotions are a choice.
