Your idea of happiness is flawed

This is an article re-post written by Kimmy Dee originally published back in August of 2011. It may just hit you like a ton of bricks. If you’re looking for an answer to “How can I be happy?” then the response from the experts is, “You’re asking the wrong question.” The better question is why our idea of happiness is so screwed up that most of us wouldn’t recognize... read more

Happiness is a choice; not a response

I read this somewhere years ago and it made such an impact on me that I copied and pasted the article contents into a mac pages file, saved it, printed it, and hung it on the side of my refrigerator.

Who I Am

Hi. My Name is AJ. I’m 32 years old and have developed a strong desire to see the world. Instead of giving in to the fears of making substantial changes in my life, I’m embracing them and seeing where it leads me.
