When we have successes our feelings turn towards excitement and joy. Why is it so hard to focus on those times instead of finding things to worry about?

Simply, we are human beings and wired to think that way.

Being Selfish While on the Unemployed Journey

Written on November 3rd, 2009 by Helen Burton2 comments

Isn’t it ironic we spend most of our lives trying to please other people and never thinking about what would make us happy?
