Happiness Is an Inside Job
Welcome to The Happiness Diary. ✨
Welcome to The Happiness Diary. ✨
In 2016, I:
Was anxious and depressed
Was destroying my body with alcohol and drugs
Had no idea what I wanted to do with my life
Now, in 2024, I:
Am happy
Take care of my health
Live with meaning and purpose each day
What changed?
After moving from city to city, country to country, switching from job to job trying to find happiness…
I learned that happiness is an inside job.
What does this mean to me?
1) True happiness comes from within. External things like looks, money, or success might give you temporary satisfaction. But lasting happiness is cultivated through inner work.
2) Happiness isn’t just about what happens to you. It’s about how you choose to interpret and respond to life’s events. You can choose to be happy regardless of your circumstances.
3) Happiness is a skill. You can learn to be happy. It takes conscious effort, habits, and practices. But the more you do it, the more natural it gets.
Since then, I’ve dedicated my time to learning more about happiness.
And now?
I’d like to share what I’ve learned (and continue to learn) with you.
Because as Arthur C. Brooks said:
“If you want to be happier, you need to:
Understand the science.
Apply it to your life.
Share it with others.
Because you won’t remember and hold yourself accountable unless you’re teaching it.”
That’s why I founded The Happiness Diary.
