Keep Your Door Open
A friend said to me the other day, “You know, Maria, some people are deeply committed to their unhappiness. They don’t want to change, and there is nothing you can do about it. It is what it is.”
Wow, I thought to myself. Is that really true? Are there people out there who choose to be unhappy? People who have resigned themselves to believing that joy and happiness are out of reach for them?
Over the next few days, I kept coming back to my friend’s words. I guess there could be some truth to what he said, I thought, but deep down I believe that everyone would choose joy, optimism, and peace for their lives if they actually knew how.
