I don't blog about my candle making adventures, my family (with two thousand pictures of my kids), or my life as a housewife who makes quilts 24/7. I'm not some pretentious hipster who can't finish three sentences without using some form of the word "musing." I'm just here to laugh at society.

Consumerism costs your heart and soul.

"Research shows that intrinsic values not only promote personal, social, and ecological well-being, but can also act to immunize people against materialism. It's that see-saw again. As intrinsic values go up, materialistic values tend to go down. So part of the trick is to build a life that expresses your intrinsic values. That might involve spending more time with people you care about, finding meaningful work, even if it pays less, or taking part in volunteer opportunities for causes you care about."

You heard the man. Love what you do and you'll have a better life. Remember that, everyone, ever, as you go from high-school, to college, to the real world.

If you watch the video and really pay attention, you'll see characteristics described that you see in people you know, and you can learn a lot about them when you connect the dots.
