Embracing Happiness Through Choice
Happiness is often misconceived as a distant goal that can only be achieved under specific circumstances. However, personal insights suggest that happiness can be cultivated through conscious choices in daily life, rather than being an endpoint to reach. Recognizing and appreciating small moments of joy, or 'glimmers,' allows individuals to experience happiness more frequently. This perspective emphasizes the importance of noticing the little things that bring joy, which can transform one’s overall outlook on life into a more positive one.
