"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking."
-Marcus Aurelius-
What makes you happy?
Raise? Progress? Sense of accomplishment?
All of them are obviously important and noble goals to strive for. More money gives us a chance to support our loved ones better, to give back to the society on a larger scale. Progress towards our life goals gives us a sense of completeness, that fuels us to make more contributions to the world, the society, the family, and essentially ourselves. All of that gives as the sense of accomplishment, which makes our lives worth living.
But sometimes, happiness can be simpler. Much simpler. Brief companionship, slight touches, a fleeting smile. Sometimes, that's all it take to put a smile on your face and springs to your steps.
Are you happy today?
