Getting caught up in what we don’t have and what’s missing from our lives is easy. We set goals to achieve what we think will bring us happiness, only to find ourselves stuck in a cycle of constantly wanting more. It’s a never-ending process that leaves us feeling unfulfilled.

But maybe it’s just part of being human — always striving for something better. I’ve spent my whole life thinking that getting what I don’t have will make me happy, but that’s not necessarily the case. Happiness is a choice, a mindset that we often overlook in favour of focusing on what we lack. It can be tough to choose happiness when you feel like you’re stuck in a dark place, but even then, there’s always something to be happy about if you shift your perspective.

It is important to choose happiness because if we don’t, we will be stuck with a lack mentality and a constant loop of unhappiness.
