Hello Followers,

HAPPY WEEKEND!

It is essential to happiness that our way of living should spring from our own deep impulses and not from the accidental tastes and desires of those who happen to be our neighbors, or even our relations.

Today we will be exploring how you determine what makes you happy.

Living according to your values is a central component in the pursuit of happiness.

If you do not know which values are important to you, try this thought experiment: If you could wave a magic wand and instantly have everyone’s approval and admiration, what would you choose to do with your life?

Take steps that adhere to those personal values.

Happiness comes from living as you need to, as you want to.

As your inner voice tells you too.

Happiness comes from being who you are instead of who you think you are supposed to be.

Tomorrow’s topic is how do we make a habit of happiness?
