Attitude for Happiness

It was Sunday and I had a bad start of the day. I went home at 6 in the morning from work, feeling tired and irritated because, I did not finish the job I was supposed to accomplish. I had a massive headache, so I decided to sleep for a couple of hours.

In the afternoon, my sister and I decided to go to church and attend mass but she declined to go. At that instance, I felt like not going too. However, something was pushing me to go. So I went alone, thinking that I’d just attend a part of the mass.

During the homily, the priest celebrator hit the mark when he said “our attitude affects our happiness more than anything else”. He pointed out that it is what we do with what is happening in our life that matters and not what’s happening in our life. It was hard to grasp at a start, but I finally came to understand, that whatever we do in life, with the right attitude centered on Christ’s teaching we will be able to face life with optimism.

Earlier that day, I faced the problem with irritation that is why, I felt bad most of the day. And I realized, had I faced the problem at work with positive view, my day would have been a lot different.
