Why Working and Sipping Cocktails on the Beach, Will Not Make You Happy for Long.

Laying on the beach and drinking cocktails while placing your laptop in front of various backgrounds to make it look more impressive for your Instagram is a common standard nowadays.

However, it is an unfulfilling dream built on the wrong premise.

It is based on the belief, “once I am on the beach or somewhere in “paradise” I am happy and fulfilled.”

However, this is not how it works in reality.

This is me on the beach in Mexico working,

Acapulco, Mexico

Am I happy?

Yes

Am I joyful?

Yes

Does it have to do with the beach?

No, only very slightly!

The pursuit of happiness won’t bring you anywhere

I have nothing against beaches and nice travel destinations to work from.

However, most of the content and promises out there is illusionary marketing.
