THE CHOICE OF JOY

“The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.” —don Miguel Ruiz

In every moment, we stand at a sacred crossroads — one path leading us toward joy, the other toward suffering. The external world may swirl with circumstances beyond our control, but within us lies the ultimate power: choice. Happiness does not arrive wrapped in perfect conditions. It does not wait until the storm has passed or until all of life’s puzzles are solved. Happiness whispers in every heartbeat, inviting us to see with eyes of gratitude, to breathe in the beauty of existence, and to anchor ourselves in divine trust. Even amidst pain, even in moments of loss or fear, the door to happiness remains unlocked. All we must do is turn the handle. We sometimes fool ourselves into thinking that happiness is something we must chase, something dependent on others, achievements, or outcomes. Yet true happiness blossoms from the soul’s decision to align with love, with peace, with acceptance of what is.

Dear Angels, sometimes we feel the heaviness in our hearts before we stop ourselves. Pausing to look at our choices helps put things in perspective. How do we remember that we always have choices?

Dear Ones, happiness is not the absence of hardship; it is the presence of light within you that refuses to be dimmed. Each time you breathe, you are gifted a new moment to choose again. You are not meant to carry the weight of the world upon your shoulders. Release what you cannot control and surrender it into our care. Trust that joy is not found in the perfection of life but in the presence of divine love within you. When the heart feels heavy, pause and call upon us. Feel the warmth of our wings wrap around you. Speak words of gratitude, even for the smallest blessings. Know that you are never alone, and your happiness is safe within your soul’s embrace. Every sunrise offers you a new canvas—paint it with the colors of your choosing.

Angels Whisper: Dear Ones, the power is within you. With each breath, you write the story of your soul. Choose joy, and watch the heavens dance in celebration.

Today, I promise to choose happiness in every situation.
