Where I will be 10 years down the lane.....

Let me first explain why I want to do this. Generally I use the country roads to come to office as I want to start the day in a laid-back way being closer to nature. Today morning while standing in the traffic I saw an old man driving a Tractor in the corn field next to the road in the freezing cold and gutsy wind. Initially I thought he must be miserable and hate to do this. Then observing him for few minutes I realized he is quite enjoying with a headphone and listening to the music. Looking at his wrinkly skin of his face I guessed his age to be in late 70’s or early 80’s. To me he is starting his day with extreme hard labor but still managed to be happy. It intrigued my mind to think about my position and my state of happiness. Then I start analyzing if I am not happy now whatever I am doing now should make me happy sometime down the lane. Logically I should be happy now or if I am not happy now then I should be doing something now which will make me happy in the future. Overall I believe I have everything to be happy, a protective and supportive husband, a healthy child and a large and helpful extended family. Still I am not as happy as I should be.
