Day 91

This is a great story about a man in San Diego, California. The message is powerful and I recommend watching the whole video. 

To summarize, one of the important messages, which is also something I have known and experienced all my life, was that money does not buy happiness. In addition, always follow your heart. This man is happy because he is doing what makes him happy and not conforming to societal norms. Do not settle for less than what you want out of life. It is your life- find your inner happiness and follow that. From experience, I can say it is hard at times to find inner happiness. I have struggled with it for years, but through traveling and leaving my familiar stomping grounds, I have realized more and more what I want out of life. You have to learn to be okay with yourself, your choices, your decisions, your behaviors, your appearance, your whole being. No one can make you happy except yourself. Do what makes you happy and as stated in the film, do what you want to do.
