We look for fulfillment each day, but often end up filling ourselves up with things we don't need in an attempt to quiet the emptiness we feel. Some people use food to obtain a feeling of fullness, some choose to zone out by watching an endless stream of television, and a lot of us, true to the American way, attempt to buy something that will fix us, making ourselves the person we long to be. Owning an exercise bike will not make you fit. Life requires effort and being able to honestly listen to yourself without distraction.
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”Nathaniel Hawthorn
