My Simple Happiness Secret
Rituals that I’ve been following for a year
Happiness is not a destiny.
Often people say — I’ll be happy after getting this job, x amount of money, a house, and a partner. Bullshit.
Would you get success without being happy? Exactly, your mind works better when you’re at peace.
Happiness is now, in this moment. So, get up, get the job done, and get real access to happiness.
Being unapologetically yourself
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else life — Steve Jobs
For 22 years, I was living in the shadow, trying to hide my true identity and pretending I was happy. Turns out that I was afraid of being a weirdo.
Now it’s been 2 months since I am being truly myself — giving no fu*k about people and society. I tell you, it’s freaking amazing you can be your boss, and you can do anything without thinking twice. Another reason to be yourself is you get laser-focused on your life and you grow 10X faster.
So, before setting your sights, decide: Are you living the life of your future self?
Because everything starts with who you’re and what you do with your freaking ideas.
Grind everyday
I put my heart and my soul into my work and have lost my mind in the process. — Vincent van Gogh
I don’t care about the outcome — I know if I can put my soul into my work, something will happen, and if not, I’ll learn something, and I’ll get better the next day.
Many people get too attached to the outcome, thinking 24\7 about the results. And when things do not turn out to be good, they start crying.
If you want to lose weight, you have to lift the weights. If you want to build a side hustle, you have to take the initials. It’s the process that makes you sweet.
So, understand happiness is working on the process of winning.
Think about it:
- Your mind will be clear. You will be more confident and flexible
- You’ll focus on the solution.
Instead of being obsessed with the outcome, become obsessed with the grind.
Wrap up
The secret to happiness is to know who you are — your likes and dislikes, and then hold onto the things you love until your last breath.
