<p><strong>Yes, it helps if you’ve arranged to get yourself into a lovely place – easier to enjoy a tropical beach than an urban traffic jam. That’s where the planning part comes in.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The challenge, the task, and the reward lie in squeezing the most juice out of right now, wherever you are, with whomever you find yourself. That’s it! This minute is where happiness is to be found. </strong></p>
