I'm glad that you are on your way to happiness! That's a very interesting point that you bring up. I agree with you but I also believe that happiness is a choice. -Adam Eric,

Seriously, it's like reading my own thoughts. I left the engineering world of Toyota and spent 10 years (and counting, I think) searching for what makes me happy. (I've certainly gotten closer, but there's more digging, I believe!) I don't know where I heard this, but the question was posed to me about that saying, "The Pursuit of Happiness." Do we pursue happiness, or is happiness itself a pursuit? In other words, is happiness a destination, or is happiness a continual flow? Or both? Personally, I now think happiness = pursuing happiness. It's like when you have a first date with the hottest chick ever. We're happy even BEFORE the date, aren't we? We're happy just thinking about it's reality, just preparing for it, just planning it. So before anything actually happens, we are still happy in the pursuit.
