Barry Long's secret to happiness

Barry Long once said the secret to happiness lies in doing what you want rather than in getting what you want. 

For in attempting to get what we want we may suffer through years of unhappiness, doing things we don't want to be doing.

Happiness is now, we can't defer it for another day that will never come.

If we can't shape our lives to suit what it is we like to do then we will forever suffer and not reach our full potential.
