Rather than thinking, 'If I do this, and in five years I'll be where I want to be,' you're better just doing something that makes you happy now.

I really like acting but, just now, the more I read a script I find myself thinking I'd like to direct rather than act.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

I'm more interested in where I'll be in five or 10 years than where I am now.

All you need to do is turn on the news, and in five minutes, you're depressed with the state of the world. Choosing joy is a completely active choice. It doesn't just happen. You can't just say, 'I want to be happy.' You have to take action.

You can't be happy by doing something groovy.
