I love the “what do I need to be happy?” question. Coincidentally, I just finished reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and it’s made me think a lot about the little things that we do in our every day lives that influence our happiness.

One thing I realize is that sometimes when I envision what I would want for my life, I realize that I already have most or all of it. I have amazing opportunities to travel, I know some really cool people and if I dream of ‘being a writer’ the truth is that there is nothing that holds me back from writing (other than not making the time to do it) and while I don’t make a living from it, the money isn’t the point of wanting to be a write anyway. Of course, there is still that desire to see growth and to experience new things and I think that’s one of those things that keeps life exciting.
