Frank makes it sound easy here. It’s easier to be really happy if you don’t focus more on doing something good for others or on making the world a better place.
“I have concluded through careful empirical analysis and much thought that somebody is looking out for me, keeping track of what I think about things, forgiving me when I do less than I ought, giving me strength to shoot for more than I think I’m capable of. I believe they know everything that I do and think and they still love me, and I’ve concluded, after careful consideration, that this person keeping score is ME.” —Adam Savage, host of Mythbusters, at the Reason Rally, 2012 Mar. 24

You are the only one you can make happy. Happiness is an inside job.

the guy he’s talking to is not happy… rather he is annoyed at being interrupted while reading the comics….!

As Brother Dave used to say: “Success is gettin’ what you want. Happiness is wantin’ what you get.”
