I realize
that happiness is intensely and exclusively personal; it is neither given nor received.
I acknowledge
that happiness is universally available regardless of individual or collective differences, and that it is not confined to believers or followers of any particular ideology, philosophy, political party, or religion.
I commit
to choosing happiness to elevate my own human experience. I commit to sharing this truth with others and encouraging them to also choose happiness to elevate their own human experiences.
Happiness is a choice—my choice. I choose happiness as my default no matter the thoughts, feelings, or experiences of a given moment of my life.
Happiness cannot be given or received.
Happiness cannot be bought or sold.
Happiness cannot be contained or exclusive.
It is a state of mind that is guaranteed to anyone who chooses it.
Happiness is a choice—my choice, and no one can give it to me, choose it for me, or take it from me. I choose happiness. Right now. Always.
