Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Happiness is not a choice. Happiness is an emotion. We wake up. We choose where we go to school or college or where we work. We choose which shopping mall or supermarket we go to. Within that we choose if we are going to eat healthily or blow caution to the wind and buy our favourite fattening treat. We choose our friends (not our family of course). We choose our partners and whom we are going to settle down with. We choose to stay the course if things go well and we are compatible, and we choose to separate when we realise we have made a mistake and need to go our separate ways.

We cannot choose happiness. Circumstances choose it for us. Yes, we can facilitate happiness by our mindsets and trying to look on the more positive side of life. Trying to not consider our own needs all the time and realising that life has so much to offer, but sometimes we have to strive to attain it.
