Ability To Sacrifice


Happiness can be defined,
 in part at least, 
as the fruit of the desire and ability
 to sacrifice what we want now
 for what we want eventually.
  Stephen Covey

Happy people 
have two things in common.
 They know exactly 
what they want and they feel they're moving toward getting it. 
That's what makes life feel good: 
when it has direction, 
when you are heading straight
 for what you love.
