acknowledgement of free will

• this assumption suggests that humans have the free will to develop their own signature strengths, and that we have control over our own well-being.
• this means that happiness is accessible to everyone, as we have the capacity to make choices, because we are in control of our own lives.
• for example, mindfulness and quality of life therapy acknowledges the role of free will, as individuals are encouraged to become more aware of their own feelings and emotions.
• individuals who are able to exercise free will will be more conscious of the present, and use this to increase their own levels of happiness.
