When we do something we love, that energy is released into kenetic energy. Happiness is the rate at which that energy is transferred from one phase to the other.

I suspect the biggest payoff and value will ultimately come from the edible carrot. I've realigned my thinking to consistently move towards challenges that are satisfying. My wonderful companion Michelle has revealed to me that the best things in life are free. Great wisdom my friend. I suspect the biggest payoff and value will

I always told my friends -- there are 2 kinds of carrots; an edible carrot and a golden carrot. The edible carrot is very satisfying while the golden carrot is not but it can buy you many things. If you go for the golden carrot you will have a hunger that is not satisfied. The edible carrot will satiate but it may not be able to buy everything. The best is to have a job that gives you both carrots. The moral is to strive for the edible carrot and along the way you may pick up the gold. Very True.
