Is happiness a decision, something that we have to decide or is it just pure fate. Is this something that we have to decide i.e., whether we want to accept our present situation and circumstances as they are without doing anything or even looking for a solution or we accept each one of them and decide to work on them and then start working on some solution.
Anything that happens or will happen depends on our current decisions to some extent. If we are serious with our life then we can make some changes now and then whenever we feel something is not going right. This can be applied to every sphere of our life whether its our personal life, home, family, job, career, studies, business. A positive decision always brings a positive result which means an everlasting happiness.
We all know what is good or bad for us, we read, we watch, we hear and we learn more ways, better options which can be included in our life, to add a new dimension to our life, to further improve quality of our life. We all get quality information and useful tips from a number of sources, which can even include solitude (listening to inner voice) but do we really decide anything, do we take these little decisions or at least write them, read them or keep them for future reference so that we may explore the idea and then make some decision for its inclusion or acceptance.
Anyway if you have decided to be happy then there are so many resources both online as well as offline which can help you find true happiness in your life. I feel the decision to enjoy happiness in life is a part of positive approach to life also called positive thinking. A strong decision is always supported by everyone in our surrounding whether animate or inanimate because a decision is a decision and is therefore only possible destination and things is therefore acceptable to us.

I think that ones extreme surcumstance are eliminated happiness is a decision. but for someone that has to worry about getting the food of today happiness can+t really be in focus.
Thanks for comment Poker. Well, you are right someone who is under extreme pressure even for survival can't think of happiness (as we understand it).
Happiness that I'm talking about is not limited to freedom of mind, freedom of choice, but I am talking about the hope, the will to overcome a circumstance, which gives a feeling of satisfaction (a form of happiness).
Our circumstances aren't always in our control but our actions (or at least our thoughts) are, we can always hope against hopelessness. We can always try to find a solution when there is apparently no solution available.
