My Bumpy Road To Happiness
It starts with myself…….
I know happiness will always elude one because life is a roller coaster ride. We, humans, being emotional creatures will be thrown into turmoil if we allow it.
When I was younger, I was a worrywart. When something happy happens, I knew that the next event is going to be sad. I almost try not to be too happy. But life is going to be like that I found, up and down. I had wondered how I could walk a constant happy road.
As I grew older, I realized that you will get to the top of that boulder, achieve your goal and feel elated, and then what? You still need to scale the next boulder. It’s our nature to want to become happier.
Then, I decided that the pursuit of happiness is an internal journey and has nothing to do with outside circumstances.
What are my Strategies to be happy as far as possible?
My first strategy is about knowing myself – reflecting on my strengths and my weaknesses.
If I do something well, I am fulfilled and happy. I would analyze my strengths to apply them to my other goals so that they are likely to succeed.
I have identified my strengths as curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to work hard.
