You know what? It works!

I don’t know what all other people use to get happy, but here’s what worked for me: (1) start each day with a personal affirmation (“It’s gonna be a great day!” or “I am really happy!”); (2) notice all the good things (there are a LOT of ‘em); and (3) when people ask how it’s going, answer with a VERY positive response (“How’s it going?” “GREAT!” or “How are you?” “FANTASTIC, but I’m gonna get better!”).

That’s it. That’ll be one million dollars. please.
