There are those who are always cheerful because it is their own nature and it is who they are, whilst there are also some who have to put a conscious effort to put a warm smile on their faces. As we know, it becomes a lot easier to smile when you are happy, and so it is essential that we find ways to be happy before we can build the good habit of smiling. The good news is that in accordance with modern psychology, though we all have different emotions, they're controllable. This means that it's always up to us to choose happiness over misery or sadness.

There are some experts who even say that happiness is a symbol of wisdom. This may also explain why most of us are misled by the belief that happiness is not for everybody and that there are specific things we have to do achieve for us to be happy. This idea has also made us believe that happiness is only for those people who are lucky enough to have everything they need in everyday life and that when something goes wrong, happiness is practically like an not possible dream to achieve.

According to some recent developments and studies in the fields of biochemistry, neurology and psychology, happiness is extremely much attainable. It may be tough to believe because of what we very first thought about how to be happy. Along with modern science and technology, it has been proven that indeed all of us can choose happiness and choose to avoid everything that makes us unhappy if we want to.

Although these bits of information have been successful and are shown to be true, many of us still think that happiness is not anything that science can study and make a summary on. As individuals, we have our own beliefs and concepts that we stick to. We sometimes feel that things around us have complete control over our own emotions so no matter what we do and think about to feel happy, there will always be some thing to annoy or sadden us.

With all the theories about happiness, begin to wonder who really knows about how and why a person feels happy. Perhaps there is an accurate response to this question, and perhaps there is none. The truth is that nobody really knows, because as a unique human being, we all have different feelings and good reasons to feel any kind of emotion.

If you are wondering how you can choose happiness, you may as well ask first what makes you happy. Most of the time, we become so busy and exhausted from all the things we need to achieve every day that we tend to ignore simple things that can make us happy.
