The secret to being happy is simple in concept: Find what makes you happy and pursue with no expense left unpaid. The challenge is that it takes a while to find what truly makes us happy. But we are constantly met with things that make us unhappy. We are left in a pickle: Do I know what makes me happy? No. But, am I unhappy in this situation? Yes. It comes down to this: What do you value most? The pursuit of happiness is not easy. It may require stepping out of our comfort zone and making the tough choices. But the state of being unhappy will ultimately rob you of your spirit and identity. No person or situation is worth that.
