The Big Mystery of My Future History
Marie Devers

1 When I think about my destiny, that cloudy cool mirage,
The options and the chances overlap in a collage.

3 I sometimes spend an afternoon in dreams of come what may,
A changeable amusement, better than any matinee.

5 Ambitious as I am, there is so much that I foresee,
I’m writing seven million drafts of my biography.

7 Youth is like a blindfold to the life I’ve yet to meet,
I can’t make out the future with my life so incomplete.

9 Who will be the obstacles, opposing my success?
And will they win, or will I be the most victorious?

11 I hope that I am valiant at all my hopeful chances,
And that I handle, gracefully, my unique circumstances.

13 I tell myself when thinking of this future publication,
That whims I can’t predict are arranging their formation.

15 Trophies sit un-etched in a factory someplace,
Waiting for my name to illustrate their empty space.

17 No matter how much algebra I use to see what’s next,
The equations still have missing parts, defined as only X.

19 A mosaic in development, my life’s still so unsure,
Yet bound to be exciting as any novel from the store.

21 Do you ever stop and tell yourself your living narrative?
The fabric that you’re weaving that will be the life you live.

23 I dare you now to play this game. Pick up your mental pen,
And fearlessly create the book your life is waiting in.

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United.

The conversation with Jeremiah settled Luma's mind on the question of Ashton's: it was time for her to admit her failure and walk away. But while the failure of Ashton's hurt Luma's ego, it was also an opportunity to focus her life on more important things. She wanted to start a business that could employ women like Beatrice, paying them fairly without making them commute halfway across Atlanta by bus or train.

Luma’s decision to walk away from Ashton’s supports the theme

“New businesses can be just as successful as old ones.”
“Helping others is more important than a successful business.”
“Luma’s ego was no longer telling her what she needed to do.”
“Businesses that help others are better than ones that do not.”

Study: ‘High Incomes Don’t Bring You Happiness’
By Caitlin Kenney 2010
People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness that exist and how they are affected by money.
How much money do you think it would take to make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to improve your mood?
A new study from Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman suggests that number depends on how you define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1 between emotional well-being, “the quality of a person’s everyday experience such as joy, fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and affection” and life evaluation “a person’s thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time scale).”
Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise steadily with income,” emotional well being drops off at about $75,000 a year.
Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation, but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment, sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional wellbeing, but it is also good to think your life is going well.
According to the most recent census2 data, the median US household income was $52,000 in 2008, with about a third of households making above $75,000.
