Your Mindset Determines Happiness.

Alot of people talk about happiness like alot, but if you really think about it, you will know that happiness doesn't have just one definition, like it is very hard for you to give happiness one meaning, so some people believe that happiness comes from money, having good health , living good life, having security , being in a healthy relationship. Fineeee, that's like valid too, but to me happiness is a mix of different things and also it has to be something that comes from within you.

Happiness cannot be actually defined by material things, yes they make life simple, easier to live,yea no doubt about that one, but see when someone is struggling with basic needs like food, clothing, shelter , safety, it becomes hard for them to say the want to focus on happiness , so in that part life conditions do play a role, but then material things alone cannot give happiness, let's just establish that fact, have you heard the saying that "rich men also cry," I'm sure we might have seen a suitation where someone has money to buy everything they need in this life but still they are not happy, they still feel unsatisfied with life, that alone shows us that happiness cannot just be tied to external things alone.
Happiness to me has to come from within you, it has to be like a kind of attitude that you carry ,like a kind of mindset that you develop within you, the way that we choose to see how life is and how we choose to respond to some things plays a long role in this, know that life cannot be perfect, on fact it can't be perfect , there would be disappointment, challenges, and moments when things do not work out to plan, If happiness was only based on circumstances, then it would mean we can only be happy when everything is going perfectly, and that rarely happens.

And this is why I think that happiness is a thing of choice,It does not mean that ignoring problems or that pretending everything is fine when it is not, but it means deciding not to let every small difficulty now take away your peace of mind, so something happiness can come from very simple things,so I noticed that people who appreciate small things tend to experience happiness often, they don't have to wait for one big moment or big to happen before they are happy, they find reasons to smile along the way.

So when people ask if happiness is shaped by or chosen by life conditions, I will say it's a little bit of both , life conditions can affect how easy or difficult it is to feel happy, but the mindset that you carry also plays a very big role.
