Happy? Are You Making This Mistake Pursuing Goals?

Have you ever been somewhere having a good time, playing a game, taking a break, or simply talking with someone, when a sinking feeling suddenly hit you?  Your mind probably got flooded with things you need to do or possibly better ways to spend your time.

Granted, you do need to be prudent with your time. Is that really what that was about? Why can’t you enjoy that time and be happy now?  How about most of the time, whether you are working or relaxing?
