Earlier this month Tony Schwartz wrote an interesting HBR blog post Happiness Is Overrated. It certainly stirred up a lot of emotions in the comments.  Initially, I was inclined to disagree with Tony, but he was making some valuable observations.  As I have grown older I also discovered these truths for myself.  For the past five years I have never been happier or more frustrated.  Being happy takes hard work! It means doing the right thing each and every moment – an impossible task. It means doing what needs to be done even when you don’t want to do it but you do it because it needs doing. It means (unfortunately) not being first in your own life. Maybe happiness is overrated after all. But maybe experiencing happiness, the right kind of happiness is a message. A message that in that moment, you know what you do is important.

Happiness is about the little things we do everyday. I have been completely unable to find the source of this video and I would love to give attribution.  Take a few minutes to enjoy.
