It is so simple that many people dismiss it as simplistic (which it is not). It is not going to stop you feeling sad or angry or aggrieved at the appropriate times but it will alter what these emotions do to you. 1. Take responsiblity for your own life 2. Never make your happiness subject to anything or anyone (i.e. I would be happy if..........) 3. Look for and make the positive choice in every situation 4. Choose to be happy. (This is not as hard as it seems. As they say in Nike World - Just do it).
