Time flies, and sometimes we feel like we never have enough. According to some research, the answer to this problem might lie in finding more awe in our lives. Awe is something that fills you with wonder. It’s a jaw-dropping experience that takes your breath away. This is often something so powerful and extraordinary that words cannot adequately describe the feeling. It stops you in your tracks. The experience of awe is often connected to vastness of size. This could be a physical size, like being near a large mountain or the ocean, or it could be an emotional vastness brought on by music, art, love, or a spiritual experience. It could even be an idea that is so vast or complex that it doesn’t fit into our normal understanding of the world.

Happiness or Misery? It’s Your Choice
They say the paradox of happiness is: the more you chase it, the more elusive it becomes. You’d think it’d be a cakewalk, but so many of us suffer from depression and dissatisfaction.
