Is There A Secret To Being Happy??

.....and if there is, what is that secret??  If any of my readers know the answer, please feel free to comment below!  I would love to give you my idea of what the secret to being happy is.  In fact,  I can sum my answer up into simply one word:  FAITH.  In my opinion, if you have faith in yourself, faith in your choices, faith in a higher power, you will undoubtedly be happy.  

Life is filled with choices.  I like to believe that I have made good choices so far in my life!  I bring this up because any time any of us make a choice, we are essentially leaving the end result up to faith, for we have no way of predicting the future.  Most of the time this means that we have faith that our choices will work out favorably for us.  However, what we must remember is that in life we truly don't have much control over anything.  All that we can do is try the best that we can every day, and share as much love as we possibly can.  During difficult times, I find that my faith is the one thing that never leaves me.  When I am feeling anxious about something, (a lot of time it is money to be honest!), I often just stop and breathe.  I remind myself that everything in my life has worked out amazingly well so far, and that will continue if I believe that things will be OK!  Have FAITH!  And smile.  Because smiling is ONE thing in life that we do have control over.  :D
