“Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.”— Mildred Barthel
The above quote is implying that we have a choice in the matter of our happiness. We can choose to be happy. We have the power to leave the situation that’s making us unhappy. Leaving the situation is a choice. If we don’t have choice in the event that’s causing grief, then we still have a choice to be happy. Being happy is an internal experience while expressing the experience externally. Happiness is an altered state of being. We can change our mood by experiencing something that makes us happy. We have happy memories that we can recall and re-experience the memories as though we are there in real time. The part of brain won’t know the difference but it will make a difference as we experience the sensory of happiness throughout our body.
