Happiness

Maxwell Maltz, author of Psycho-Cybernetics, and a pioneer in the self-help genre, had this to say:

"Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal."

[the quote comes from Nightingale-Conant's Motivational Quote a Day, to which there is a link on the right hand side of this blog]

Everyone gets down, now and then, so get up off the couch, go for a walk, paint something, visit your grandmother, write down some goals you have, or check a book out of the library.

In other news, money doesn't buy happiness, not even "stacks" of it. ThirdAge.com has an article about a recent Stony Brook University study.
