About Happiness Beyond Work


Happiness: The measure of Life Beyond Work[1]

Happiness: Enjoy it while you have it… for it is sure to slip away.  This is my own opinion, and it is also supported by a great deal of research;  Happiness is an exlperience, not an asset tht you can lock up in a safe.  Happiness comes, and we enjoy it; it goes, and we can remember it.  It is fortunate that happiness comes , and we enjoy it; it goes, and we can remember it.  It is fortunate that happiness does come and go.  For one thing, constant  happiness ruins a good thing.  You may have heard the tale that new workers in a candy factory are urged to eat as much as they want because the managers have learned that people quickly tire of too much candy……

Who enjoys a bottle of wine more?  The person who lives wine and haves a great wine every evening or the person who loves wine and has it once or twice a week?  Over time the, the every-evening great wine becomes expected and routine.  While still delicious, it is no longer special.  The every-so-often great wine remains a treat to be savored and brings a smile.  Eventually the every-night great wine loses it’s impact.
