The "choosing happiness" thing in general is a philosophy that I've based my life on. So many people say "I have no choice" when in reality they just don't want to see or accept their choices. I think being able to see the choices that exist is the first step. The "argument" in DocJohn's article is a perfect example.
It is also the way I interpret my sig line "The World is What We Make of It" and why I chose it.
As Joseph Campbell said "Follow your bliss"
