Someone had posted this on facebook and I just love it. It just sums it all up. The website that it seemed to have come from is http://www.motiv8fitness.co.uk/, although I couldn't find this pic on the website, but that webste looks really good too, for fitness and health.

Love this flow chart.
Is it oversimplified? not at all lol
I heard that we need to ask ourselves how can I simplify things when we feel stressed, one of the answers was to try and quit figuring things out that are beyond our understanding, and to simply put our trust in God.
I got a good chuckle at first but then told myself "what are you giggling about, it's so true", but I am still smiling.
Yes! That flow chart exactly shows what we do.
I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain
~Mariah Carey's Song "Through The Rain"
Life's too short to end right now. Think about those who love and care for you. There's always a silver lining in the clouds. There's always sunlight somewhere down the road. One day, looking back, you will appreciate. Don't spend your life regretting. Just raise your head, and make it through the rain.
but the reason i am not happy is _______________________
and there for it isn't my fault this all ways happens to me and you can't really explain to me why may isn;t correct and i have a opinion, and i am very different then you and if you only know what it is like to have my different like me and soon I am going to make it work by changing the way i think of it and why can't you just encourage me and stop trying to change me from that way i am.......

Yup, that question - "Do you want to be happy?" begs an honest answer.
Acceptance. When I am disturbed, it is because a person, place, thing, or situation is unacceptable to me. I find no serenity until I accept my life as being exactly the way it is meant to be. Nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Acknowledge the problem, but live the solution!
Isn't there a song about being happy? "Don't worry be happy" ??
uh huh -

Great pic, and yeah it is exactly what we do :) despite sometimes is not as easy as it seems and I feel like I am not going to make it but in the end I can't deny that it definetly worths the effort.
"Take what you need and leave the rest." I got nothing but moments to live.
Happiness is one of those words that I have a hard time defining the meaning of.
I've chased a kind of "happiness" that has brought a lot of sorrow in my life.
Some of the decisions I might make might not bring happiness in the short term.. might actually kind of suck at the time.. but might avert potential disaster in the long term.. which might bring some intollerable unhappiness....
Not sure if that makes sense....
That makes perfect sense, Kate. I think, for me, happiness is more of an overall contentment with my life as opposed to having fun and feeling good. I wouldn't say going to the gym is fun and often I don't feel like doing it at all but I do it because I know, in the long run, I will be healthier and feel better and that will definately make me happy. Gaming, on the other hand SEEMS to make me feel happy when I do it, but in the long run it will make my life very miserable and I certainly won't be a bit content with my life. But yes, happiness certainly could have a different meaning for everybody.

The "Change Something" node should point to the "Are You Happy?" node. And then you would notice the potential for an infinite loop with no positive outcome ...
I've definitely been in the mode where I didn't want to be happy. It was easier to be unhappy than to face the need for change in my life. A warm, smothering cocoon of negativity can be very safe, if ultimately unsatisfying.
I did get a laugh out of the picture. Thanks for posting.
You found it, it was fun to listen to, such a simple concept..."Don't worry be happy"
Thank you so much for this. It is such a profound message, and easy to memorize and apply to all moments in life.
I have thought about this many times a day and it has worked wonders for me.
