Happiness
  is not
  wealth or achievement.
  Happiness is not
  our family or friends.
  Happiness
  is not
  the joy of love
  or the ecstasy of sex.

  Happiness
  is not
  what we have
  with whom we are
  or what we do.

  Happiness is a choice.
  Happiness
  is
  the state
  we choose to be in.

  Happiness
  is
  the decision
  to be happy or sad.

  Happiness seeks
  a vote.
  Will you
  cast yours
  for it?
