Building on the happiness monk - watch the video here, 

I just discovered this link ...

Happiness is when your life fulfills your needs
But it was this that caught my eye.


Lovely analogy 

I like to think of each of us like one of those big recording studio mixer boards, the ones with all the sliding controls and knobs, some of which interact with each other, some working separately, all working together to produce the final product. We’re like that. Each knob and slide may be set a particular way, the way that produces the person we are. Each of us is like the same model of mixer board, let’s call it Homo Sapiens 1. We each have the same knobs and sliders but we each have them set a bit differently.
