Some people assume America is a land of happiness—

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,800
and if they don’t have it, they should blame 
the government for not fulfilling one of 
their basic needs.

3
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:22,900
But I would like to suggest that our President 
and government leaders are not your source 
of happiness.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,900
Our Declaration of Independence says we have 
an inalienable right to pursue happiness—

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,200
not the right to be happy.

6
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:36,300
Happiness is a choice that is made by each 
of us on a daily basis.

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,900
As Dale Carnegie noted, “Happiness doesn’t 
depend on any external conditions;

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,100
it is governed by our mental attitude.” So 
always remember:

9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,700
Your happiness is your responsibility. I’m
