Happiness
 
I know a guy who is chronically miserable.  If he’d won a million dollars, he’d lament that he’d have to pay taxes on the money. 
 
So, are you happy?  If not, why not?  I know: your child is a bum; your boss is a jerk; you missed the lottery again.  So?  I may not know much (no amens here, please), but I do know that joy and misery are inner things, not dependent on the size of your bankroll or how many people think you’re just swell. 
 
My point:  Choose happiness. Learn it.  Make it a habit.  Practice it.  Be joyful.  No excuses. — jri
