i was just thinking about everything that i want to accomplish i my life - money, family, traveling, a rewarding career, nice things, cars, etc. It's basically what a lot of us want. And then I think what will happen when i finally achieve all those things. Will i look at my perfect life and realize that this is "it". that there is nothing more? because when you are missing something, and everyone does, be it money, or family, or friends, you are always trying to get it and tell yourself that one day you will have it and will be truly happy. yet if you never get it, will you never be happy then? and if you do get it, will you just be bored with your life and start doing >insert whatever here< things because life no longer has meaning? can a woman(or a man) ever be happy with what they have?

in a word -- yes

I've had several loves of my life, raised good kids who love me as much as I love them, and in whom I'm pretty proud.  I've done most of what I've ever wanted, found out what I needed to know.  I do work I love, and I've been able to work with all the bands I love, and all the ones I don't like too, but that's even OK, its the work that matters, not the music.  I get to do something that for the most part makes other people happy, and that adds greatly to my life.  I've been around the world a couple of times, and all of America more times than I can count, and now I live in my favorite place, work in legendary venues, and get paid pretty good.  Is it perfect, not yet, but I'm not done yet, so who knows?

I live a far from perfect life, and just to be content would be my greatest goal, to find happiness most of the time would be the ultimate reward for me.
It's hard to keep the dream alive some days, sh*t keeps happening which seems to be the story of my life.  I am my own worst enemy, maybe I will never be happy! 
Believe it or not, other people's happiness does rub off on me.  I like to know other people are happy, it makes my day, but the reverse is also true, so it can be a curse.

Happiness is over rated and temporary. Life is now. You decide.

for a moment. It's worth remembering those moments.

Quotecan anyone ever be truly happy?

Happy, yes!  Do some people always want more?  absolutely!  I want more, more, and more but that doesn't mean I am not truly happy...it just means that I am greedy!  >
