Inspiring TED Talk: Emily Esfahani Smith: There's more to life than being happy

A look at life, purpose and meaning. 

Personal Reflection
"Our quest for happiness fills our mind,
Days pass by and seasons sweep the sky,
We look for signs outside,
When it all lies inside,
The reason for all our lives."    #PoeticWithHope
