SHANE​ WARREN

There’s a story that actress Katharine Hepburn once told, and if you’ve read it before, it’s worth reading again. Not because it’s heartwarming (though it is), and not because it makes us all want to be better humans (though it definitely does), but because it reminds us of something the modern world forgets far too often...

Here’s the psychological quirk: the longer it’s been since we’ve done something joyful, the more likely we are to delay doing it again. Yes, you read that right. The more starved we are for joy, the more we tell ourselves: “Not yet. I’ll wait until it’s extra special.”
