#GM If you or someone you know finds it difficult to find meaning in life, it may be a good time to seek a mentor. According to the World Happiness Report, six factors determine a nation's happiness: 1. Income 2. Health 3. Social support 4. Freedom to make life decisions 5. Generosity 6. The absence of corruption These components closely mirror Jefferson’s vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

In the beginning, there was the word… It was said to be, and it was… Out of the depths unfathomed came a great force, the momentum of all time and existence. Regardless of the origin story you hold true one thing is universal, out of nothing came existence; from one instant to the next. All that we know to be true has occurred because of a highly improbable happenstance. You had no control over the beginning of your existence and likely most of the experiences in which you believe you had some sense of control have only been a series of responses to the reverberations and reactions that have been occurring since the very beginning of existence.
