Andy Andrews' fifth decision for success is today I will choose to be happy.

Happiness is a choice. Happiness is the end result of certain thoughts and activities, which actually bring about a chemical reaction in my body.

Today I will choose to be happy. I will greet each day with laughter. Within moments or awakening I will laugh for seven seconds. Even after such a short period of time, excitement has begun to flow through my bloodstream. I feel enthusiastic about the day and alert to its possibilities.

I laugh throughout the day. I laugh while I am alone and in conversation with others. The world belongs to the enthusiastic, for people will follow them anywhere!

My smile is the most potent weapon I possess. I will smile at everyone I meet. I will always smile first. That particular display of a good attitude will tell others what I expect in return, When I choose to smile I become the master of my own emotions.

Discouragement, despair, frustration and fear will always wither when confronted by my smile. The power of who I am is on display when I smile!
