I read about Eckhart Tolle just yesterday in this forum and watched some of his stuff and now I really think I need to be happy *first* (by dumping my ego and accepting that I don't need things or other people or the right circumstances to be happy) and *then* - if I choose to - decide about the life I want to live...
That's really good. lol, It's kind of ironic, huh? Happiness can be both an impossible goal, and an easily attainable goal, depending on your state of mind.
