Blog, Choose Happy

365 Days of Happy Quotes

During my last year at university, I learned a lot about myself – about how negative and positive attitudes affect me, about how I am in control of my happiness, and about how things are meant to happen a certain way, and we can choose how we react to life. One thing I did every single day from the beginning of my last semester through the beginning of my first job out of university was choose a quote that represented happiness for me every single day for 365 days.

I went through both amazing and difficult days while doing this – I fell in love, my home town survived a terrorist attack, I took salsa dance classes, I graduated university, I went through heartbreak, I started a new job, and so so much more. What did I learn? I get to choose.

I am a compassionate and empathetic person, so if I’m surrounded by negative news or negative media or negative people, then my mood drops significantly. However, I can manage that by surrounding myself with positivity, limiting the negativity I allow in my life, and choosing to be happy. By choosing a happy quote every day, I reminded myself in every season that I AM happy.

Below are the quotes I chose, and I hope they impact you, too. Comment at the bottom your favourite(s) and why. Even the silly quotes can mean so much more to an individual than it may have been intended to mean by the person who said it.
