I especially agree with the part about enjoying what you like even if it's not popular with the masses. I've often had people tell me that my taste in music or movies leaves something to be desired and isn't cool, but I don't care. If it makes me happy then I go ahead and enjoy it. .-= scarlett´s last blog ..<a href="http://searchforserenity.com/blog/setting-a-goal/" rel="nofollow">Setting A Goal</a> =-. Great post.

I generally remind myself to appreciate life, that in itself breeds happiness ....getting on with life as normal whatever that means is another factor. In addition, being and feeling at peace with self , worry free and being able to capture lovely moments and experiences to appreciate them .... Basically happiness for me is a combination of different things, life is a journey and every moment would vary depending on other external factors .... and a clutter free environment has been proven very helpful.... :) .-= Fatibony@ Self help Motivation´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SelfHelpWellness/~3/MEPGqClq5iM/charismatic-you-2.php" rel="nofollow">The Charismatic You ?</a> =-.

I guess my worry is that I'll tend to tell myself that I'll be happy when other people are ... but quite often, they're not happy despite my efforts (or I just lack the patience and energy to really do much). I guess that while "family" are pretty high on my list of values, they're not right up at the very top. (Sorry, family! I love you all!) Thanks Alex!

I love the "adventure" idea. (That was how I framed my trip to SXSW ... though there was a point when I was stuck in Houston, due to a delayed flight and missed connection, where I was thinking "This was supposed to be an *adventure*, dammit!"... I felt a bit cheated ;-)) Great points, J.D. I love the “adventure” idea.

And I know exactly what you mean, they're a real "me time" thing. Congrats on ditching the law degree! Sounds like you escaped a life which really wouldn't've made you happy at all. (I thought about doing law, and accounting, and computer science. I went for English literature in the end, and have no regrets. :-)) Hope you can find the right job for you -- being bored long-term isn't good. I found I needed to just try various things out before I figured out what I actually wanted to do with my life. Good luck figuring out your path! I *love* books, especially by fave authors.
