“We’ve just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we’re happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.” – Anthony Kiedis (1962 – ) U.S., lead singer of The Red Hot Chili Peppers (on happiness)
HAPPINESS: “A RADICAL AND DESIRABLE ACT” – “Just for today I will be happy.” “‘Let It Begin with Me’ is a way to change the things we can – especially our own attitudes – instead of waiting for everyone else to change to suit us.” (How Al Anon Works, p. 69)

Happiness
by Carl Sandburg
I ASKED the professors who teach the meaning of life to tell
me what is happiness.
And I went to famous executives who boss the work of
thousands of men.
They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though
I was trying to fool with them
And then one Sunday afternoon I wandered out along
the Desplaines river
And I saw a crowd of Hungarians under the trees with
their women and children
and a keg of beer and an
accordion.
