The reason I do everything that I do is so that all 8 billion people on planet Earth can achieve authentic happiness. Whether that is through their careers, fulfilling their purpose, or caring for their families depends on the individual; however, I noticed the same thing holds most people back.
In this article, I reveal the debilitating myth and how to solve it. You just have to keep reading …
Some of these surveys I read are eye-opening, to say the least. Specifically, a study by Oracle says over 80% of people rely on new experiences or circumstances to be happy.
I have to admit, my gut feeling reading that was pretty harsh – because if you are waiting for life to be “perfect” to feel authentic happiness, you’ll never have it!
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t blame you. You’ve been taught this myth your whole life by your parents, the media, etc. But at the end of the day, it is still an excuse.
Life is not going to magically change once you find the right spouse, make more money or move into your dream home. The thing is that no matter where you go, there you are.
So with that in mind, the secret to finding authentic happiness is right in front of you.
Achieving authentic happiness in life comes from working toward something, i.e. our “purpose.”
There is a quote from the poet, Emerson, that says, “Life is a journey, not a destination.”
Well, that’s partially true. Still, achieving authentic happiness in life comes from working toward something, i.e. our “purpose.”
When we overcome obstacles toward our ultimate goal and reach milestones, those are the real rewards. Not the money or the “stuff.”
True happiness lies in bringing the best you can offer to the world and being acknowledged for it. Find that, and you’ll be great … And happy.
