Happiness is a state of mind which we must take control of for ourselves, and deciding to be happy can be as simple as tossing a coin. The unhappiness that we fear is often not deep-rooted but simply the flip-side to happiness - we must allow ourselves the freedom to accept that sadness and joy can live quite contentedly together at the same time and place. Like the coin, the thoughts contained in these pages will hopefully provide the inspiration for you to make the positive decision and choose happiness from the opportunities life brings.
