I have always considered myself an optimist. For as long as I can remember, since I was three or four years old and was called “Love Bug” because I would cheerfully and lovingly run from relative to relative giving out hugs and kisses, I have perceived people, events, and experiences in my life as inherently good. Every day I “see the glass as half full,” meaning I see the bright and positive view of things. Though my life has had its share of problems, challenges, and negative people, I can say that I have been a happy person. What separates a happy person from one who is unhappy? Are some people born with a “happy” personality, do things and people MAKE them happy, OR is being happy or unhappy a decision they make?
I believe happiness is a choice. Chiara Fucarino shares a similar opinion in her article titled, “22 Things Happy People Do Differently.” She writes,
