Life and it's possibilities

The other day I had to take an assessment. We were reminded before hand that the results would notdefine us. Easier said then done. Have you ever had to do something like that? What were the results? Regardless of the effort and the repeated attempts, I failed in passing my assessment. I believe I was the only one to do so. I left in tears. The adversary immediately started to fill my head with lies. You are stupid, you were foolish to try, this is what you get for thinking you could waltz in and just master it and on and on. I called Lewis, my husband and shared my disappointment and despair, for that is what it was. I didn't want to talk about it anymore, it wasn't helping. So I ended the call. I arrived home and remembered that before I left that morning, I had chosen happiness. Yet, at that moment, I was feeling anything but. I remembered that it is all about choice. I could wallow, immerse myself in the despair and the lies orI could once again choose happiness. I wasn't surprised at my choice but with the ease and speed that I did it with. Could it be that making the choice and repeating it, makes it easier to make in the first place? The minute I thought the thought, "I choose happiness", the despair left, my heart was light, my world full of light. I choose happiness.
