The secret to a happy life is revealed by Theresa from Dublin: "Dont abdicate your life to anyone - not your husband/partner/mother/father/sister/brother/boss/God - no one!! Even when things are crappy for you, be prepared to make the decisions that affect your life. Even if you make a bad decision, at least you had the courage to make it. You will be a much happier person if you take charge of your life and steer your own course."
