There is a great quote from Mad Men on happiness.<p>&quot;But what is happiness? It&#x27;s a moment before you need more happiness.&quot;<p>Happiness is like a high that we chase. When I was 25, I was unhappy. But, I was making 150k a year, was very healthy, had good relationships with parents, siblings and friends. I had everything that I needed. I had a good social life and a good job that challenged me intellectually. I was working hard towards my long term goals of climbing the corporate ladder. I had many hobbies that I devoted serious time to. Yet, there was a sense of unhappiness. An &quot;is this all to life&quot; feeling.<p>I&#x27;m 27 now. I still feel like this on some days, but what has made is better is the notion that I can use my skills to help other people improve their lives. I&#x27;ve also learned not to pay too much attention to how you feel&#x2F;what you&#x27;re feeling.<p>&#x2F;rant
