Happiness is a choice. There are situations which lend themselves to making us extremely unhappy. But ultimately, how we deal with adversity, how we lead our lives, how we view the world, how we deal with those around us even those conspiring to steal our spirit and therefore steal our happiness, too -- we can 'be lazy' and allow it or stand up to it and just say "NO!" We can always choose to find happiness even when circumstances don't afford that as an easy option, even when surrounded by pure evil, and even in the most dire of circumstances -- believe me, I know. Ultimately even though we don't always get to choose our circumstances, we all do get to choose how we respond to these situations, people and events.

I choose joy. I choose happiness.
