People are responsible for their happiness. Others feel happiness depends on other factors in their life. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

What is the truth behind the words that,

happiness

is in your hands? Some people argued that

happiness

is an individual's own responsibility,

while

others believed that there are factors that affect achieving

this

. In

this

,essay I will discuss both views in detail and provide evidence of why I agree that

happiness

is a person's own responsibility. On the one hand,

happiness

is a choice.

For instance

, a person's joy in life depends on how she handles the circumstances that are happening in her life.

That is

why they said that you are in charge of your own

happiness

. It is your mind over matter. It is a personal decision. Will you wallow in your adversity or face it head-on, move on and be happy?

On the other hand

, it is true that other factors can affect a person's definition of

happiness

and some aspects are environmental, psychological or emotional.

For example

, circumstances that involve the one who's close to us

such

as the passing of loved ones, heartbreaks, stress from work, etc. In

this

kind of ,situations we experienced pain, despair and agony.

However

, it is within our power how to handle

such

situations. The question is, will you surrender or move on? That's why having your family and friends around during these trying times is a good intervention to be able to bounce back on your previous happy self.

To conclude

, both views have their own points but

at the end

of ,it all it is your own decision how to handle and accept things. It is your own choice to choose

happiness

.
