Giving Soulfood #4

If you want to be happy, be.

Leo Tolstoy

Hey guys,

So you guys know that I generally just write whatever is on my mind and tbh, what gets posted here is often very representative of the kind of day I had, since everything that you read is freshly prepared everyday. June did not get off to a great start, which explains why the content for the past few days have been a little bit more sad, so lemme try to inject some happiness as well!!

I chanced upon this quote today, got reminded of a conversation I had with a friend a while ago and realised how true it actually is. Happiness is a choice. It’s our choice. In fact, to have infectious joy is a choice we all can make everyday.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s so so so easy to forget that no one can take away your joy. No event, no person. Nothing can take away what’s within you.

So that’s what I’m going to choose to do. Sure the past couple of days hasn’t been great, but why should I let that stop me from spreading joy and happiness on my account? Bad days will come, but what defines us is how we choose to face those bad days. Afterall, life isn’t about always praying for sunny days, it’s about learning to dance in the rain:D

So I’m gonna leave you with a short caption today, because I want to hear from you. What is one thing that never fails to make you happy? And what is one thing that made you happy today?

Also, this sleeping otter is the cutest thing ever and I just had to include it hehe (check out @giving.soulfood to find out what I’m talking about)
