Down in the Dumps

I've just about had enough of people feeling sad all the time. It's bad enough that you have bad things going on in your life but going around being sad about it all the time isn't going to solve any of your problems. Of course I've been sad here and there, but I prefer to bask in the lighthearted side of life rather than wallow is a pool of self pity. Everything is so much more inviting and beautiful when you look at it with a smile. I often wonder how life would be for me if I weren't a permanent optimist. I wonder how different my outlook on life would be if it was blurred with doubt or misfortune. But then, I remember that being happy is fun, so I'll immediately dismiss all trouble. Now I know this mentality doesn't work for all but it never hurts to try something new like this. I guess all I'm trying to say is being sad sucks, and being happy doesn't. If you don't like being sad, then all that needs to happen is you to stop being sad. It's really that simple. So the next time you're down in the dumps, remember this: smiling is loads more fun then frowning. But you already knew that :)
