The Many Faces of Happiness - How To Be Happy, ALS, Church ...

Name: John Curran
Age: 59
Job:
News director, Bloomberg.com

In his own words: Seven months ago I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. It doesn't make me unhappy, though. Why? High on the list is a family that loves me. So, too, is my church, which, combined with faith, gives me an abiding feeling of optimism that my being does not end when the heart finally stops. My employer remains supportive, so I have good health insurance. Notice that only one of the three pillars of my happiness is money-related. (I'd add here that my 12-year-old car squeaks loudly when you put it in reverse. So I'm not wealthy.) At its core, my happiness rests on a spiritual life, a sense of purpose and ? oh, yes ? a sense of humor. In this life, where beauty fades, wealth wreaks more havoc than happiness and death awaits us all, if you can't laugh about the journey's ups and downs, you'll fret. And who wants to worry?
