Do what works for me

I am a HUGE reader.  I love to read, I read magazines and books and articles.  One small downfall of reading so much is taking in all of the advice and information and making it work for me. I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin for the second time.  It speaks to me on a level I can't quite explain.  I believe that it is something that I have been searching for.  I wouldn't necessarily say that my life is unhappy, however the recognition of happiness has been minimal.  In the book she talks about her twelve commandments and secrets of adulthood.  I've been thinking in the 20 years I have been an adult, do I have any secrets of adulthood? I don't know quite yet, but through my reading I have come up with one.  Do what works for me.  Sounds simple right? Well I am not quite sure what works for me, so I am going to dedicate year one of my forties to finding out what works for me.  I already know one thing, getting up before the sun comes up doesn't really work for me :)
