Here’s to happy

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

John Lennon

Joy is our birthright.

Happiness is not a result, it’s a choice.

We don’t have to wait for it.

Consider this exercise:

• When __________ happens, I will be happy.
• As soon as __________, I will be happy.
• If __________ would only __________, I will be happy.

Then strike through the first clause, everything up to and including the comma.

Now embrace your new sentences:

• I will be happy.
• I will be happy.
• I will be happy.

How did you fill out the first part of the sentences?

How do you feel about that, now?
