    regardless of the path you chose I would look around you before you make your choice. I've never seen so many bitter, angry, unhappy people as I've seen on this site-just sayin

    lol....
    I think happiness stems from how you treat yourself and others......
    but you gotta be good to yourself first
    so yourself is good enough to be good to others.....LOL

    Who, me. There is no chice I'm making. Every day I'm just working for my goals. Motivation, inspiration and goals help anyone down their path but choice, what exactly am I choosing.

    I chose to quit my crappy job now I feel like shit till I get a job but to focus on that, to dwell on it would only bring anxiety.

    The only solution is to see every day as a new day and not get caught up in the negative thoughts. Doesn't matter what you own, true peace of mind is something we all must and can cultivate within ourselves.

    Happiness is a state of mind independent of anything material.

    the secret of anything is to not limit yourself to ways that won't get you there.

    happiness is sort of a special case, because its always a byproduct of something else.
    whether that be creating, exploring, or helping someone else to do so, or creating something for everyone to explore and enjoy exploring.

    Illusions are illusions, but what's your point?

    Some days, for some people, it's going around that next curve and finding the most beautiful natural place you've seen in a while. Everything looks clean and perfect, the sky is blue, the sun is bright, the mountains are reflected in the water, and you need nothing more in that moment other than to be there and take it all in, with someone that you care deeply about.

    its really no "secret" at all. it is simply to be in the process of doing things you enjoy, without doing anything that would make you feel bad about yourself.
