"happiness isn't predetermined by genes or personality."
So what contributed to long-term happiness? The researchers found several correlations between life choices and life satisfaction:
I kind of got up motivated even before that. I had no other plans and took a week off intending to put my house in better order (I mean those pesky things behind closed doors, cabinets, and drawers) and add/upgrade a few things. It may not be the most exciting "vacation," but it'll make me quite happy if I do it. I agree with Feng Shui that clutter gets on your nerves even if it's not visible constantly. At least it gets on mine 'cause I KNOW it's there.
Even though I'm trying to migrate all my cluttered e-mail to the new machine I intend to buy, it could be a better idea not to... Same goes for the Favorites. Once my PC crashed to a point of losing the existing e-mail and I lived! I look at my e-mails as a diary and have this awful habit of referring to past pain... A good cleaning in this department may be beneficial and adding to happiness as well.
I see the article as more of a reminder to all of us, and not necessarily news. I'm not a church goer but I have always known that my religious faith is what keeps me sane, happy, strong, and satisfied.

Well then stop kidnapping all those strapping young guys and bringing them home with you.

Wish I were doing at least that! Unfortunately, I've no excuse other than laziness and wasting time online. Of course, part of the lack of motivation IS the lack of other excitement...
