I decided that I had to and wanted to become happier;

From Nathaniel Branden's book Taking Responsibility (p. 8):

When I would ask [my wife Devers] about her resilience, she would say, "I'm committed to being happy." And she added, "That takes self-discipline."

By the way, I like all your stuff, but like many other commenters, I particularly like the posts with concrete examples from your life.

Also, the "making friends on purpose" comment was great!
