Choosing happiness isn't always easy, but with consistency, it can become a habit. A good habit that helps us make better life decisions for our physical, mental and spiritual well being.

That is not to say everyday is going to be the best day ever, but it is realizing that even when it's raining, we can CHOOSE how we feel, and how we react. There is clarity when we don't fill our mind with worries. There is focus when we prioritize what's not only most important but what will add to our overall happiness.

This is not about instant gratification. This is about sustaining a continuous life of happiness. One that is not given by others or by things, but one we CHOOSE to give to ourselves.

Happiness is something you can control. Let us learn to give ourselves happiness everyday.

At what point do you begin to accept the things you can't change? When do you let go of the insecurities, and begin to put in the work to let your creativity flow? When do you finally just let go?

On today's episode of Tuesday Talks with Ope, I dive into those topics with my guest,  @vth_infl! We explore his creative process, and how he gets intuned with his feelings and his experience to produce music that has no expiration. Music as a method of storytelling that resonates with the common man. We breakdown how our high expectations of ourselves, others and the world around us can sometimes impede our level of creativity, and how he has found a way to manage those expectations.
