I firmly believe that life is a series of choices. Good choices, bad choices, but choices all the same. What choices have you made that have led you to where you are today? What choices have you made that have helped you create the story of your life? What choices can you make in the future that will help you rewrite the ending?

Your story is comprised of all the choices you have made up to now. Are you happy with the way your life is proceeding? Are you stuck in one of the chapters of your life? Have you spent too much time flipping back through the pages lamenting the things that have happened to you over the years, lamenting the choices that you have made that have led you to this point in your life? You have the power to stop and say this is not how I want my story to end. You have the power to stop and start over and start writing a new ending to your story. You do not have to stay stuck in a life that has become unhappy or without meaning.

You are the author of your own story, of your own life. I firmly believe that no one can make us happy … happiness comes from within. Others can contribute to our happiness, but no one single person can make us happy if we are truly unhappy on the inside. Happiness really is an inside job. What choices can you make in the future to secure your own happiness?

Your story may be plagued with depression, anxiety or substance use, but it does not have to end with you staying in sadness and despair. The choices you have made up to this point in your life have created your story and I urge you to own those choices, to own your story. Those choices have made you who you are. But every day, every morning offers a chance for you to make better, healthier choices. Every day offers you an opportunity to start writing a new ending to your story, one that will make you happy.

What are you going to do today to secure your future happiness, to create a better ending to your story?
