Pursuit of happiness

Most kids can do what they desired and feel happy about it, while most of us (adults) can't without thinking about consequences that our actions might bring (both good or bad). You could say that on one hand, kids are more naive/ imature/ selfish/ over-optimistic by ignoring or unable to think ahead of their actions. But the truth is that these atitudes are what makes kids happier than most of us. Certainly, it is the process of doing what one desired that makes one feel very very happy. In the world where "i wish i could do this if....", "i want to, but its going to..." "I couldn't do it because..." are more often spoken, sadness and dissapointments reign over happieness. I certainly hope 10, 20, 50 years later, or at the time when i look back at my life, it would be filled with a plethora of happy moments, I think most of us would desire that as well.... then what's holding us back from being more happy? Perhaps at times, unlike kids on the other hand, we are too sophisticated/ matured/ unselfish/ and over-pessimistic. Dont just get disobliged or intimidated over the possible results, enjoy the process of doing what is desired.

"We hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men (and women) are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Thomas Jefferson
