THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT
As an older guy, I'd like to share some advice about being happier, and it is this: Don't dwell too heavily on politics.
Cases in point: 2 guys from my generation (baby boomers) have led generally happy lives because they do what they love. One is a Chiropractor (one of my medical billing clients) the other is a professional chess player, and the captain of the American chess team in the last 4 Olympiads. One Conservative, One Liberal. Both of whom I'm proud to call my friends. They watch a little news everyday and vote every 2 years, but steer clear of political discussions, and instead focus instead on their life's work.
As Steve Jobs once said: Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work, is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
