Hi Will - What a delightful article. I rather like the idea that happiness is not a hill to climb, and that it's more of an undulating landscape that poses challenges from time to time. Whichever perspective we take on life and happiness, I believe no two people will reach the same conclusions.

For me, choosing to be happy, not to be envious of others, electing to give rather than receive, makes me feel more worthy and grateful for what I have. Competition is what separates us today, having 'made it', with all the trappings of wealth.

Wonderful writing.
