Have you ever taken off on a journey - any kind of journey - and not ended up where you expected? I think this happens to most of us much of the time, just not necessarily on an airplane going to a predetermined place.

We often think of hijacking in today’s world as a violent act, taking a group to a destination they did not choose or sign up for. I am tweaking that definition. My hijacking is of a gentler nature. My vision is to board the vehicle of happiness (whatever that may be for you) and gently guide it to where you want to go.

Don’t let it take off and leave you behind or get onto one of the lesser aircrafts of discouragement or frustration. There is enough happiness to go around and room for everyone to be on board or have their own seat.
