for ourselves. --Helen Keller

functions without encumbrance, and the past might no longer encroach upon the present. --

Happiness" Ask struggling adolescents why they get high on drugs or

alcohol or seek sex without intimacy or commitment and they’re likely to tell you they just want to be happy. Ask

young professionals why they’re so driven to make money and they’ll talk about all the things they’d get if they were

rich, things that will make them happy. Ask adults why they had affairs or left their families and you’ll hear it again: "I

just want to be happy." So, why aren’t more people happy?  ....Traditionally, there are four main sources of real happiness: loving relationships, enjoyable work, service to

others and faith. Josephson Institute:
