It is that little thing inside us. You know the one that says "don't steal" and "love your neighbor". Get it!
I know not the right answer.

good question!

for me, some is training, some politeness, some obligation and some messed up thinking that i haven't changed or questioned...i do keep myself from doing certain things i like b/c i haven't "done my chores," but these days once i do that i'm too tired to do the nice thing...it's like that saying eat dessert first!

so glad i read this b/c i'd already decided to stay home and relax and mentally started my list of "need to do" things. i want today to be fun...a few nice things...pain is low enough that i want to enjoy it, not push!

Apparently we have it all wrong... the aim is to like what you do and enjoy it, whether it is washing the dishes or playing with the cat. It's all a question of attitude. I don't quite know how to get there but it's worth a try.

So sing while you're cleaning or driving somewhere, or smile while you're on the bus or in the grocery store.

be happy and happiness comes around.

(would that I could follow my own advice lol :)

Short? It's the longest thing I'm going to do...

Because I gave up.

AmaSun, very good advise.
