There's hope for us all...
"...To rise over love,And over hate,Through this iron sky,That’s fast becoming our minds.Over fear and into freedom..."
The next time you feel you are heading down a path of sorrow, just try saying:
"happiness is a choice and I choose to be happy"
It sounds cheesy but it works.
I stare in the mirror. I repeat it again and again and although I don't suddenly start bursting into fits of laughter, just saying the word, "happy", does (for some weird reason) lift your spirits.
