Every day life

I get asked some questions all the time, mostly by one person in general. One of them is " how do you do it"? A very close friend of mine who is going through a lot in her life who is struggling a bit( through my eyes because this person won't admit it to themselfs ) but I get asked how I do it on different occasions. How do I get through the day dealing with all the stress or how do you go through the day always with a smile on your face and always laughing even though life for you isn't easy? How do you get through all the negative and be so strong? How? I wake up every morning with a choice. That choice I ask myself is am I going to be happy brush it off no matter what it may be. I choose to be happy, strong, confident , loving and kind to whom ever I may meet . Why? Even to those that may not always deserve it? You don't know there story and to be he better person. I was told by someone a while ago the I was a role model for them and they have looked up to me for years because of how I handle thing and how I always have a smile on my face. Life is to short to he grudges and to be unhappy all the time. So tell yourself it's going to be a good day , and nothing is going to ruin it. Love everyone, make some one smile or give someone a hug. It feels great!
