"Happiness is a butterfly. Chase it and it eludes you. Sit down quietly and
it alights upon your shoulder." Wrong. We can become happier, but not by
employing positive thinking, developing patience, being kind, quelling
anger, having low expectations . . . Those methods are not only simplistic,
they're downright wrong. We are told to love ourselves, find within us our
own special gift, reach our potential, and to see problems as challenges.
That's not the way. Rather, we need to reduce our fears and gain an inner
authority. That comes from getting to know ourselves, and by taking full
responsibility for the way our life unfolds.
Mark Avery is currently writing a book: "Paradox and his umpteen keys to
happiness."
