i will always be happy

Someone told me recently, "do whatever makes you happy." I agree with this. One can be either happy or sad, and I choose to be happy. But sometimes it's not that simple or straightforward. The thing that makes you happy can be the very thing that makes you very very sad. When you care about something so much, whatever threatens it would make you sad. When something that makes you so happy may slip away from you, that very source of happiness turns into the reason for your sadness. Ironic isn't it? So even though technically you need to sever the source of your sadness, by doing so, you might well be severing your source of happiness. Such a dilemma. What to do when faced with such a situation? My usual solution - ... uate. It's not purely logic, but also about how you feel overall. In any case, whatever decision you eventually make, make sure you'll eventually be happy about it. There's no room for regret. No point to regret anyway. When one chooses to do something - a decision that's well thought out and not a result of wilfulness or rashness, the motivation behind it must be an effort towards creating a better situation for oneself. Simply speaking, when I choose to do something, it must be because the decision will create a better outcome for myself. The ending will make me happier. Knowing this, my position is quite clear. Ball's out of my court. I know what makes me happy and what will make me happy. So I've made my choice. Now it's out of my hands. Whatever happens, I know I will always be happy about the choice I've made. Anything that hampers it, I'll just have to deal with. But I'm joy. I was born to be happy. And I will always be.
