Every situation is a choice.

For true happiness, it's best to look within yourself rather than rely on others or the world around you. The sad but true fact is that it's difficult to be happy if you rely on outside sources. The root of happiness is Joy, and joy lives within you. It's not influenced by external events.
"life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live."
