I especially liked his mention of the rampant consumerism that is so embedded in our culture that so many find it difficult to think of consuming less, of buying smaller or conserving our funds, our environment, our energy &#8212; and maximizing our enjoyment of life.  It&#8217;s tiring and exhausting to get, buy, consume, and waste.  Having more doesn&#8217;t make us any happier than just enjoying what we already have.  <\/p>\n<p>The other day I watched <B>10 Questions for the Dalai Lama<\/B> and one of the questions from the interviewer was about his observation that in India, among the poorest of the poor, he&#8217;d noted that they laughed far more and with true enjoyment that most of the people he knew who had much, much more &#8212; where laughter was more often forced or at someone else&#8217;s expense.  <\/p>\n<p>Things don&#8217;t make us happy. People and relationships and taking the time to get to know and enjoy the people around us help to make us happy.  So, rethink your own consumerism and I know that I&#8217;ll be thinking of mine and how I can make changes in my behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I got this link to Leo Murray&#8217;s Wake Up, Freak Out &#8211; then Get a Grip video.
