Subject: Happiness

I came across a good quote the other day. Just thought I'd share:

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.

The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."
-Margaret Young



Now to be honest, I didn't know who Margaret Young was when I wrote that, but I did a little google research and apparently she was some singer in the 20's, 30's, etc... She seems like a pretty happy person, so I think I just may have to follow her advice.
