Most days, I have difficulty catching my breath. My wheezing is not the result of a pursuit of physical fitness. Rather, the exasperated gasps are symptoms of my zealous pursuit of happiness. Sir Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion states unless an external force is applied to an object, the path and speed of the object will not be altered. Rather, the object will remain in static motion. Similarly, the momentum of my pursuit of happiness is in direct proportion to the amount of energy I exert towards my goals.
