Life is all about...

Choice.
Life is all about the choices we make and all the actions that follow.
Everyday we make millions and millions of choices, many intentional and many of them made without you even realizing.
You have the power to choice what you do. You have the power to make your day better. Others may have a great influence of what you do, but in the end it winds down to you choosing whether or not you are going to follow those influences.
One of the toughest choices that you have to make is choosing to be happy or not. It is honestly as simple as that, but more often than not, we don't see it that way. Things can go wrong during the day and you can begin to feel like the world is falling apart. It can seem that the easiest thing to do is complain, not look on the bright side, and see yourself as only getting worse. 
For me, this whole month has been incredible rough. School is ridiculously hard, college applications are getting crazy, dance is causing more stress than normal, and all the small things are adding up.Once I realized that it was just wasted energy to be constantly upset, I decided that I needed to change. I was sick and tired of being upset and wanted to be happy. I can't say that I am perfect, and that every time my life gets like this it is easy to turn it around, but I feel like I do have the authority to speak from experience. When life throws a curve-ball at you, all you have to do is deflect it with a smile. Smiling takes away the stress of being upset, and allows you to see how happy you can be. Putting on a smile takes one second. One second is all it takes to change your mood. 
You have the power to change your mood. You have the ability to make your day the bets day ever. The MOMENT you are living in can change, and all you need to do is make the choice.

XO, Miranda
