It is my belief that happiness has more to do with where you're going than where you're at. This is why creativity is so important.

It's very important to keep your creative skills sharp.

What would happen if you tried going for a walk without your shoes on? What would happen if you left your cell phone at home for once? If you're debating this, and even if you choose not to go, consider it an exercise. By constantly challenging ourselves, we continue to re-create ourselves.
