Happiness comes from the child within you

Have you noticed how you sometimes spend a lot of money on a holiday/ car/ party or something like that and at the end of the day you're just feeling like you didn't have even half as much fun as you expected? 

Most of the times, the most fun times we remember are the times when we were students, we went on cheap trips, drank cheap beer and made little effort to plan how we were having fun. As adults, sometimes, we don't have the time to have fun when we'd like to. We plan in advance for months, pay lots of money and then at the end of the day when we get there, the fun is ruined by too much anticipation.

The many songs and poems are right about this one: happiness is about the little things. It's about letting the child within you enjoy that great cup of coffee, the feeling of fresh air in the morning or the feeling of touching someone's hand. The happiest moments of our lives are free, spontaneous and unexpected.

Although I do understand the point about it being easier to cry in a Mercedes rather than a Trabant.
