Stop trying to be happy....

Ken Dychtwald Ph.D.: Who's Happy And Why?: "So here's the thing. At the end of the day, it may be wisest to judge each of our own life successes not from the outside looking in but from the inside out. It's not about the material things I can show the world, but about how I feel about the work I do; it's about the relationships I have and the love I share.

It may well be, as novelist Edith Wharton said, that 'if only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time.'"
