(No, it’s not Victoria’s Secret. Victoria really doesn&#8217;t have a secret. Have you ever seen the merchandise in that store?  It’s obvious the secret is pretty much revealed.) Are you ready? Here it is:  Happiness is a choice, that’s it.  It&#8217;s a little secret, right?  But, a great one. Happiness is a choice. That&#8217;s all you need to know.  You are now enlightened.  You can stop reading and go about your business.  Congratulations on your new found self-awareness.  Hey, I’m kidding, alright?  But it is true.  Happiness is a choice.  As I always say, making “happiness a choice” is what life is all about.  And it’s the best way to stay motivated throughout the day. <span class="post-teaser-more"><br /><br />&nbsp;=>> <a href="https://www.getmotivation.com/motivationblog/2013/02/happiness-is-a-choice/" title="Permanent Link: Happiness is a Choice" rel="bookmark">Click to read the full article...</a> <i></span></p>{"id":1779,"date":"2013-02-27T02:47:51","date_gmt":"2013-02-27T07:47:51","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/motivationblog\/?p=1779"},"modified":"2017-09-28T19:09:11","modified_gmt":"2017-09-29T00:09:11","slug":"happiness-is-a-choice","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/motivationblog\/2013\/02\/happiness-is-a-choice\/","title":{"rendered":"Happiness is a Choice"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Steve Rizzo\" title=\"Steve Rizzo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.getmotivation.com\/images\/speakers_images\/steve-rizzo-13.jpg\" \/>Allow me to let you in on a little secret.
