skip frye Q: What is your definition of happiness? SKIP FRYE: When you feel good. Happiness is feeling good – everything is in sync. It’s a pretty hard one because this world keeps you in trouble and stuff happens all the time. I think my faith has a lot to do with keeping me happy. There are priorities there – family, friends and work. I try to take care of those things first, and then all the rest – like surfing or whatever, comes after. You have to balance it out, but you gotta’ take care of the priorities first. If you don’t take care of the priorities, then even if you’re having fun, you’re not happy because you know you gotta’ take care of school, work, family or whatever it is. Q: What is your advice for those trying to find their way? SF: You always need to do something that you really like. So many people are unhappy in the job they are in and are not doing what they really like. I think as far as a vocation or something, you’ve got to get something that you really like to do, no matter what it is. It doesn’t have to make you a million dollars or anything, but it’s worth a million to just to do something that you really like, and that you can get involved in. You gotta’ enjoy what you’re doing. You gotta ‘have a little bit of a passion for whatever you’re doing. Sometimes, something might be more economically viable, but you don’t have a buzz for it. I’d say, just go for something you have a passion for and follow through, because your energy is going to be more involved in doing whatever you have a passion for. If you have a passion for something and you really enjoy it, just keep with it. It will follow through, and you’ll have fun, and you’ll be successful at it.
