Do you find yourself thinking, "when things go my way, then I'll be happy"? Andrew Matthews revealed that quite the opposite is true - unhappy people are focused on what they don't have, while happy people are focused on what they do have. instead, we should be grateful for the things we do have, after all as Andrew shares, happiness is a decision. You may think that it's all good when life is going well, but what about when I lose my job, can't pay my bills or am experiencing issues with relationships? Andrew spoke about how, yes, even in challenging times, we can choose to be happy.

Andrew didn't stop there in talking about how our lives can be drastically changed. He also spoke on how acceptance is not about agreeing with what has happened or condoning it, but rather acknowledging the reality of the situation. By doing so, we empower ourselves to move forward. Andrew showed that once acceptance is achieved, it’s crucial to live life one day at a time. By focusing on the present, we reduce the overwhelm from our past experiences.
