"To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness."
-Bertrand Russel, British Philosopher
I saw this quote and it immediately made so much sense. Part of being happy is the desire to want or do something, then getting or doing it, and constantly adding to that list. Imagine waking up and having nothing to look forward to in the future. There is always something that we are looking forward to having; be it an item, a job, a relationship, a trip, a move, an event, a family - this list is endless and always continues to grow as you check it off. It actually reminds me of a reading I know called 'The Station'; my Sigma Chi brothers will be very familiar with this one.
Life is about the journey, not the destination.
