I had set off with a student to offer young adults our ‘Decide to be happy!’ workshop. ‘I don't know what to expect, but I'm happy to be able to offer myself as a gift,’ the young woman told me. During the workshop, she found the courage to speak very frankly about her faith in front of young strangers. This opened up a climate in which one participant was able to summon up all her courage and - on the topic of ‘Take responsibility for your life’ - talk about her father, who had made a far-reaching decision regarding his carpentry business. This had given the whole family a much better quality of life. I could feel how happy the young woman was to have shared this experience. At the end, she came to us smiling and let us know: ‘How great that you were there!’
