Former president Ronald Reagan once had an aunt who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes.

          The cobbler asked young Reagan, "Do you want square toes or round toes?" Unable to decide, Reagan didn't answer, so the cobbler gave him a few days.

           Several days later the cobbler saw Reagan on the street and asked him again what kind of toes he wanted on his shoes.

          Reagan still couldn't decide, so the shoemaker replied, "Well, come by in a couple of days. Your shoes will be ready."

          When the future president did so, he found one square-toed and one round-toed shoe! "This will teach you to never let people make decisions for you," the cobbler said to his indecisive customer.

          "I learned right then and there," Reagan said later, "if you don't make your own decisions, someone else will."


What is happiness?  

          Is it always having victory and never suffering defeat?  Is it first seeing a smile on the face of someone you love or do you demand a smile find your face first instead? 

          Is it serving or being served? 

          Is it the art of comparison?

           Is it something that happens because of who you are rather than because you are always in pursuit of it? 

          Are we happy when we are loved because we know we could be hated; the wisdom of comparison so to speak? 

          Is it creating shadows because our attitude is so full of sunshine? 

          Is happiness living in such a way you belong where you are?  

Is it all of these…any of these? ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTIONS SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY!

          And be sure you have thought your decisions through thoughtully it rather than let others do it for you.
