An Important Realization That Could Change What You Do Tomorrow
Mindset Monday
Takeaway: Happiness is something you build, not something you find. Take action every day to create happiness, as it is your responsibility to bear.
One of the most important realizations I’ve made in my life is that happiness is a choice.
It’s not found, nor is it stumbled upon.
You don’t wake up one day having discovered the key to happiness.
Happiness is built.
Brick by brick. Challenge after challenge.
You have to wake up every morning and choose happiness. Choose activities that bring you joy. Choose the people in your life that make you feel whole. Choose to do the difficult things because those difficult things make you happier in the long-term.
Your happiness is a responsibility that you bear.
And in a cruel sleight-of-hand trick, you eventually come to learn that what you were building was just an illusion. Happiness is not a place or a product.
Happiness only exists in the building of happiness.
