Happy vs. Extraordinary

Just about to get ready to go and visit Tawny/Jeff for the afternoon. Jeff is looking at something on my car and will also check out why my new vacuum is making horrendous sounds. Took it (mostly) apart myself and couldn't figure it out.

An older friend talked to me about Happy vs. Extraordinary this morning. He said that in your lifepath your options are arterial, meaning you have multiple paths to get to the similar place that is your destiny. If you choose the Happy path, you can have Happiness; however, if you choose the Extraordinary path, you can have Joy. Contentment yields Happiness and Hunger for More of Life yields Joy.

Will you settle for contentment because you think it is safer? Or will you take a risk and be hungry for more? Do you want to safely inhale oxygen readily available at sea level or are you willing to breathe in more rarefied air in the mountains? One path is not as easy or as difficult as the other. Which path would you open yourself to take?
