i definitely saw this in ecuador and came to quite the epitome of realizations--we look to 3rd world countries as developing and aspiring to be like us, but in reality, they live so much more simply, are happy with the work their lives require them to do....they know how to live on $100/month and don't know any different, and aren't wishing for $6000/month...and they are happy. shouldn't we be aspiring to be more like them?

I love it! Another one I like is the happiest person is not the one who has the best of everything, but the one who makes the best of everything!

Always a good reminder.
