So you have certainly had ups and downs.  Geez, this lousy world! 

That video is very good - short too:).  That is the essence of therapy but most do not want to believe that the flaw can be found within and altered.  No, they blame everyone and everything else.  Being happy is a relative term anyway and really not attainable because definitions vary per person.  Your quest for internal spirtuality can become the most rewarding.

I always wanted to go to college.  My mother said 'no'! No money, no time, no way....After I had my children, I started college slowly.  I never gave working much thought; just going to school and I loved it - learning by whatever means has always been my salvation.  When I finished my undergraduate degree (English, education & psychology), I started teaching 6-8 graders in a Catholic school (the beginning of the end of my Catholic belief system!!!!).  I enjoyed the kids and the topics I taught, but found the administration horrid.  So I changed jobs.  The next was a large high school and it was the same.  So I decided I wasn't meant to be a teacher; so returned to school and became a psychologist. 

Again, my internship was wonderful but my first job was horrid; changed jobs; better but not what I thought it should be.  This repeated behavior has happened over 25 years.  Some place around 20 years, I figured it wasn't truly the jobs, it was me.  And I figured out I hated working; I was able to relate to the adolescents because they also disliked being told what to do.  So I started looking inward and found all my actions/reactions were really the same.  (Yes, I have come to think my husband must be a saint but I've also spiced up his life.)

The video addresses a major issues in today's society and one that most are not willing to learn.  Thanks; that was a good one.
