What is Happiness? (The state or quality of being content; pleasure; felicity; aptness [Webster's Dictionary])

Who is in charge of us being happy?

Do we have a choice to be happy?

Why do we want to be happy?

What are the benefits of being happy? Joyful, peaceful, energized, healthy, pleased, thankful, grateful

What are the deficits of being unhappy? Sick, cranky, hurting, unthankful, low tolerance

ex. sick person, unhappy, does not want to eat, cannot digest the food, headache, migraine, vomiting, etc. vs a happy person, none of those symptoms.

STOP, CHALLENGE, CHOOSE

What are things you can choose to do, believe, to be happy?

Have to vs choose to or get to

What all is involved in being happy?

An Irish Blessing:

I wish you well and happiness galore.

I wish you luck for you and friends;

What could I wish you more?

May your joys be as deep as the oceans,

Your troubles as light as its foam.

And may you find, sweet peace of mind,

Wherever you may roam.
