You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a les?son I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well,right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choo?sing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us,influence our emotions―we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain,we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what some?one says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger,selfdoubt,or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you un?necessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that,thoughts,feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

Although Zhang Bichen,a 25-year-old songstress with a power?ful yet delicate voice,took the crown of The Voice of China in 2014? runnerup Parhat Halik,32. seems to have impressed more of the au?dience with his husky (沙ft的) ,natural and,most of all,distin?guished sound.
Despite his unmistakable voice,Parhat Halik's music is also special. General?ly,it's rock―but influenced and mixed by different styles within the genre. Read on and find out where Halik's music gets its inspiration.
Blues rock
Representative artists:Guns N' Roses,The Rolling Stones,John Mayer Blues rock
combines improvisation (即兴创作) with rock 'n' roll style. It be?gan to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the US,when rock bands such as the Rolling Stones experimented with music from older African American blues musici?ans. It borrows the idea of instrumental combo (小型爵士乐队) from blues but is played at a faster tempo and louder volume,distinguishing it from the blues. The sound is created with the electric guitar,piano,bass and drums.
As the root for several contemporary rock styles,such as heavy metal and hard rock,blues rock had a rebirth in the early 2000s,with artists including John Mayer and The Black Keys.
Folk rock
Representative artists: Bob Dylan,Simon &. Garfunkel,The Byrds As the name indicates,folk rock is a genre combining elements of folk music and rock music. Also developed in the mid-1960s,folk rock was pioneered by the US band The Byrds,who began playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylanpenned material with rock instruments,in a style heavily influenced by The Beatles and other British bands.
The genre was most popular among teenagers and college students at the time,because it includes both rock 'n' roll's free spirit and the more serious,culturally authentic and socially aware sounds of folk music.
Soft rock
Representative artists: Bryan Adams,Eagles,Elton John,James Blunt Compared to hard rock's loud and aggressive nature,soft rock,or light rock,uses the techniques of rock music to compose a softer and less threatening sound. De?rived from folk rock,it uses acoustic instruments (原声乐器) and puts more empha?sis on melody and harmony.
Although the genre gets quite a bad name among hardcore rock fans,who see it as "wimpy"(软弱无力) ,it doesn't mean soft rock is without merit (优点) .Soft rock songs often deal with themes like romantic relationships and everyday life in a thoughtful and complex way that hard rock simply couldn't.
