1. How do you define happiness?

A journey.

2. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your happiness now, versus when you were a child?

Who says I’m not still a child?

3. What do you do on a daily basis that brings you happiness? (and how consistent is the feeling of happiness throughout your day)

I’m blessed in that I enjoy my work (it’s amazing how much this drives other people crazy), but I experience the most joy with my two children.

4. What things take away from your happiness? What can be done to lessen their impact or remove them from your life?

Jean-Paul Sartre said “Hell is other people,” and often that’s true. But happiness is also other people, so you have to let the annoying people slide off.

5. What do you plan on doing in the future that will bring you even more happiness?

Continue to expand personal freedom for me and my family. Happiness is up to each of us, and yet we lock ourselves into mindsets that won’t allow it by arbitrarily limiting our own freedom. That’s why so few of us find it.
