hi again. this is my second post here.

yes, all points above i think are good ones. and i second the motion about doing.

i was thinking about this again this morning while walking my dog. and this popped into my head:

Happiness shouldnt be a Noun, Happy shouldnt be an adjective, Happy should be a Verb!

happy is as happy does. it's through doing that we contribute. especially if we're busy doing something that we value. it's through doing that we feel connected to others and like we make a difference... and that leads to happiness.

Like Victor Frankl says: we search for meaning and connection, and it can take any shape or form, and then we're happy.

maybe it's more complicated now if we now have more choices, but i think the tradeoff is worth it: we dont have to squeeze into any little role or box to find a meaningful path. we are so free to explore, free to be our true selves, and for that i am so grateful!!!
