Constant stream of thought

It's hard to understand what you want and it's hard to understand how to accomplish what you want when you don't know what you want but you know that you want something so you work hard at something not knowing if you really want it waiting till you know you want it because it's something that everyone else wants you to want because the majority wants it and if everyone wants it it must be pretty good but just because everyone else wants it doesn't mean that it would be good for you specifically because we are all different and have different needs and skills but you don't exactly know what you need and you have no idea what you're capable of but you are willing to keep pushing through and doing your best to become as capable as God believes you to be

When this happens, it's time to reevaluate your purpose.

Why do you do what you do? You have to strip everything away and look deep inside yourself. One really important thing to remember: don't lie to yourself. Don't you want the optimum result? You. What motivates you? Drives You?

The pursuit of happiness.

It seems like a simple answer, but in reality, it is simple. You may be asking, If it is so simple then why don't we all know this? I think sometimes we get wrapped up in everyday life and think that what we are doing is making us happy, but in reality..it's not, or at least in the long run.

Claudio R. M. Cost talks more about true happiness in the Liahona.

There is a difference between fun and happiness. Happiness is much more than just fun. Fun is just a fleeting moment, but happiness is a lasting thing.

"Many people in this world do not understand the difference between fun and happiness. Many try to find happiness having fun, but the two words have different meanings.

I looked them up in the dictionary to find out what each of them meant. Fun is play, pleasure, gaiety, merriment, source of enjoyment, amusement, to behave playfully, playful, often a noisy activity, and teasing. Happiness is contentedness, joy, delight, and satisfaction." (Claudio R. M. Costa, “Fun and Happiness,” Liahona, Nov 2002, 92–94)

What then makes you happy?
