"If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can."

These words speak to the resilience and strength of the human spirit. They remind us that even in the face of adversity, we have the power to choose our attitude and outlook on life. When things are going well, it is easy to be happy and content. But true strength is shown when we can find happiness even in the midst of suffering.

Life is full of ups and downs, joys and sorrows. It is inevitable that we will face challenges and hardships along the way. However, it is our response to these difficulties that defines us. We have the ability to find happiness and peace within ourselves, no matter what life throws our way.

Choosing to be happy is a conscious decision that we can make every day. It is about finding gratitude in the little things, focusing on the positive aspects of our lives, and letting go of negativity. It is about finding joy in the present moment, even when the future seems uncertain.

But even in the midst of suffering, we can find strength and resilience. We can choose to face our challenges head-on, knowing that we have the inner resources to overcome them.

We have the power to find joy and contentment within ourselves, even in the face of suffering. It is a reminder that we are capable of weathering any storm that comes our way, and emerging stronger on the other side.
