Do you think Happiness is a Choice?
Ruby dropped this into my inbox, and I'm making it into a post here 'cause she can't just yet (we're figuring out a way to use paypal for a supporter account - might have found a work around...)
Which has me thinking about how I can be better ready with a link to send people with options to ask me questions that don't involve my inbox - ways to leverage questions that would prefer to land there.
My inbox isn't for that.
It can't be.
To invite that, to fail to make some other sort of provisions/ boundaries - is to ask to be swamped with non-scalable guidance requests ... from any direction.
Fine when it's only one or two people. But sigh ... it's never just one or two people ... it can quickly become all-time consuming ... and that also doesn't pay the bills.
Privacy is expensive. Literally.
Leveraged use of our time is what's scalable - and scaling is where the ceiling of possibility opens up.
Not sure if that makes any sense.
Back to the question ...
She sent this screenshot and asked:
- Is happiness something to be strived and worked hard for? Or is it really just a choice?
Here's what I've answered so far:
- Yeah, in my experience it’s just a decision. Or maybe a series of decisions.
And also a way of viewing the world.
Now I'm adding -
- Happiness is loving yourself. And not letting other people shit on that.
Nearly midnight here and das what I got 🤔😊
What do you think?
The original FB thread that the image came from has lots of thoughts and responses on the matter too (if that’s interesting)- https://www.facebook.com/WildWomanSisterhood/posts/2073726782776895
