Superhighway to Happiness

Sometimes we might find ourselves thinking happiness is the result of all the right wheels turning at just the right time.

Happiness is a fuzzy concept, meaning many different things to many people...well being, quality of life and a sense of flourishing. Ever met someone who stayed positive even when they’re having an off day? The greatest discovery of any generation is that we can alter our life by altering our attitude.
