It was you!"

Add Spice To Your Life

"Goals and achievements add spice to life.  Pursuing them helps to make life feel exciting and worthwhile.  In my experience, the striving is more satisfying than the achievement itself; the journey is more important than the destination.  I think that it would be a mistake to tell yourself that you will be happy at a specific point in the future only if you have achieved certain goals.  It is far better to tell yourself that you will be happy, here and now, in the midst of pursuing a certain goal."

-- Gary Hayden
