The freedom to be happy

Someone once said that happiness lies not in the destination, but the journey.
One has the freedom to choose to either forfeit their happiness or stay happy in the midst of all circumstance.

How do I make a problem cease to be a problem? It is not a problem unless I see it as so.

Perhaps we sometimes look around us and we are enveloped by fear. Because we ourselves judge others, therefore we fear the judgement of others, thus affecting what we do or not do.

But really, really, really,
should we allow that to happen?

Psychologists like to attribute a fear of something back to one's experience hence we blame that particular experience for causing us to act in such a way that is not beneficial to us.

I wonder, do we have a choice?

If God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of POWER, of LOVE and of a SOUND MIND, can we not act in a way that would be for our welfare?
He give and take away, my heart will choose to say, Blessed be His name.
He has made us to overcome.
In every circumstance, as we strive to please Him and Him alone, we can overcome as we cease to judge and understand that the judgement of mere people cannot overwrite the Good that God has in store for those who obey Him. Now the question that leaves to be answered is: How should we obey Him?
