Our thought for today is, happiness is closer than

you think. It begins with gratitude, thrives in the present moment, and grows when you choose joy

every day. We often think happiness is something we'll reach someday, after the next achievement,

once the stress passes, or when things finally line up just right.

But happiness isn't hiding out in the distant future. It's already here, waiting to be noticed.

Gratitude is the key that opens that door. When you take a moment to truly appreciate what you have,

your health, your breath, breath a kind gesture or a warm

sunrise you begin to realize that life is already rich with joy and happiness

doesn't grow in the past or the future it lives in the now when we slow down and

fully engage with the present moment whether we're're sipping coffee, laughing with a friend,

or simply breathing. We plant ourselves in the only place where joy can truly be felt,

here and now. But like any habit, happiness is a choice. It doesn't always come easily.

Some days joy is quiet. Some days it takes effort to find.

But when you choose it, especially in the small things,

you begin to shape a life where happiness isn't rare, but regular.
