Audio Commentary Transcript

Happiness Is a Choice Each Heart Gets To Make, and this little torn paper piece is a bit misconstrued, and it sort of fundamentally weaves together the looseness of some early pieces and some more confined ideas of later pieces, but I do like it, if you could peel off the layers you would see that it is layer after layer built up, and built up and built up and it started with a painting of a goldfish in a bowl underneath it, and there are papers all layered over the top. Happiness is a choice each heart gets to make and this is one of the sayings, or sayings like this that I have used a lot because I believe that while we are all waiting for our conditions to change so that we can be happy, even if every condition changes to everything you can possibly imagine you can still be truthfully unhappy, that to be happy you have to choose in your heart 'I'm going to be happy, I am going to let things go, I'm going to choose happiness', and the good thing about it, is that it is with in your power, and you are the person that gets to make it, unlike waiting for someone, or something to make you happy.
