Why try? Because it feels good! I still maintain, though, that you're more likely to have it sneak up on you while you're doing the next thing. And the first time in a long, long time that you suddenly _notice_ you're happy is a real rush!

Well my life situation kinda sucks, so I wont achieve happiness any time soon, but that's ok I've moved on to other things.

Life sucks sometimes, but in the midst of the suckiness you can find happiness, in spite of suckdom. Happiness has no obligations. That's a trick devised to keep you down.

My life is in a shambles right now. I'm trapped in my circumstances for awhile, like, no end is in sight. I could be very bitter about it all but would that make anything better?. I'm not going to let the circumstances get the better of me because I don't have to. If I'm too tired to use my imagination to create my own happiness or too stubborn at the moment to accept a new perspective, I can turn on my video machines and watch a Bill Murray movie. I literally tune out my troubles and find something to make me smile. Bill Murray never fails me. Later, when I'm refreshed enough, I can go back and deal with my troubles with a more stable mindset.

There are so many things in the world that make me happy, Bill Murray is just one example, but I had to search them out and decide to let them make me happy. It takes effort to find them and practice to make them work.

The more you practice choosing to be happy, the easier it gets.

You have to live today in your given set of circumstances. Fill your moments with things that make you happy as much as you can. Don't waste time with things that fuel your self-pity. Talk about a choice...
