text: why is it that when you give your self to a dream your life is opened for happiness.?   its about setting goals. humans are happiest when we are striving to attain a goal. it is not necessarily achieving the goal that makes us happy but the journey of getting there. for example, when earning a degree it is not the graduation ceremony itself but the 4 or 5 years of college that makes us happy. its the same with getting married, saving and buying a house, and raising kids.  the key to happiness is setting goals (or dreaming big) and going after them!
