Don't worry so much about everyone else. If you do that, you'll find yourself one or two years down the road still unhappy with yourself and resentful for that.

So here I am struggling with what the right answer is...
I'm trying to think of what it is that would bring me happiness.

I could give myself carte blanche to go out and do whatever / whenever. Spend money with no regard to budget. Party like a rock star. Travel far and wide to see new places and meet new people.

I would be fun for a while, but I think this would get old and leave me feeling a little empty after a while.

When I think of what makes me happy, personally, I think it has a lot to do with giving others happiness. I like to see the kids enjoying themselves. I want to give them oppurtunity to succeed in life and watch them develop into happy adults. I work not because I love my job (I know, not the right reason), but because I feel good about being able to provide for my family. It makes me happy to bring a smile to my W's face and to see her happy. The old saying that it is better to give than to receive.

I dunno. Is there any 'right' answer? Just food for thought.
