How Are You Today Son

How Are You Today Son,

Recently, I was thinking of the word of the song, "You make me so very happy". I’m not certain if that’s the title or not, but I do know that those words were in a song.

As I thought about that, I realized that we can have relationships that can elevate the state of our happiness, but the smartest thing we can do is to go into those relationships being happy already.

When you have two people who are already individually happy with who they are, in my humble opinion, they have a much better chance as they have a solid foundation for the growth of their relationship.

As I have stated before, happiness is a choice. In addition, basing your happiness, I mean your complete happiness and emotional well-being, on something that can be taken away from you, certainly seems to be a recipe for disaster. I know that sounds ridiculous on the surface to some people, but let’s dig a little bit deeper. Let’s say that you are in a relationship with someone that you really love. Let’s also say that person leaves you for whatever reason. That is no fun by any stretch of the imagination and if you really did love that person, it will be painful. Just because it is painful, however, doesn’t mean that it is the end of life as we know it. If, for instance you put all your eggs in one basket, and based all of your happiness on that particular person, you will find yourself in a very tough spot. If, however, the core foundation of your happiness is based upon those things which can never be taken away from you, then you stand a much better chance of a rapid recovery and going on to still lead a very beautiful life.

Now I’m not just some coldhearted guys saying that breakups are easy. What I am saying, is that just because we have a “breakup” doesn’t mean we have to have a “break down”.

If you break up with someone or someone breaks up with you, don’t stop being happy. You can still reflect upon the good times you shared together and the fact that you were able to be in a relationship with this person in the first place.

In my humble opinion, we should all make happiness and joy something that simply cannot be taken away from us permanently. There will be bumps in the road and some days you may feel more ecstatic about life than other days… that’s just natural. In a relationship breakup, just like in other instances in life, you will be required to, "weather the storm". By weathering the storm you can move on with your life and wonderful relationships, greater than you ever thought possible. I can tell you from my personal experience, that “breakups” can lead to “breakthroughs”.

Choose happiness and happiness will choose you!

Well, that’s all for now!

Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Love,

Dad
