I really did choose to be happy. I mean, good and bad things happened to me in my life, but I worked through them in a way that at the end, I always ended up being happy, and I know that I'm really fortunate for that.

Yes, I'm very interested in your father's advice, and then also in the song and in your combining those two. And certainly, you can interpret the word choose to be happy in such a way as to sort of consider the way you lead your life.

If you lead your life in a way, in such a way that you can look back and not be ashamed of things you've done in the past, that's already, I think, very comforting. And then, however, to deal with problems in the way that you mentioned having dealt with them, that can also help.

Hi, my comment is about expectations. For me, that's where happiness or disappointment stems from. Growing up like most teens, you know, accepting what you look like, what you sound like, where you're from. And for me, I have really large teeth.

And one day, I just decided - maybe at 10 or 12 - like, I have teeth, though. You know, I have so much to be thankful for, and it's okay. This is me, and I don't know. From that, it touched everything in my life, and I feel like I'm at peace, like beyond happiness. I feel like I'm at peace.

And that, I think you've touched on something that I think is very important from the point of view of exploring happiness - namely, trying to understand who you are.

And then I also think you mentioned, you know, the possibility of being grateful for what one has. And gratitude has is extremely important, as many of the writers on happiness mention.

Ah, happiness comes from God. Now, you see, then you have to stop and ask which God. There are many different people who, of course, have different religious beliefs.

So yes, it can certainly happen that privileged people have more time to sit back and ask about their own happiness. But in every society, people have done so and sometimes, especially when things are really difficult.
