  2. practice contentment

    i had a very long conversation with a very wise man last night, and i took something away from the conversation that is very important.

    practice contentment.

    now.

    the idea isn’t to be content with where you are, but rather to be content no matter where you are. if you’re constantly unhappy because you’re searching for bigger and better things, when you get to where you thought you wanted to be, you may continue to always want more, causing you to always be unhappy. instead, find happiness now. work towards your goals. but, no matter where life leads, keep that happiness with you.

    today, i’m practicing contentment. it feels nice.

     
  3. "When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life."
