I'll keep this pretty brief! I had a thread a while back about how I finally discovered the key to confidence(self improvement.) I think I've finally discovered the key to happiness too.
I used to struggle with being miserable all the dang time. It really sucked. But I was having dinner with some friends the other day, and it finally hit me. I'm actually happy.
This is because I have been working super hard on my purpose in the last few months.
I think that a good definition of happiness is "How close am I to my goals/purpose? And am I making good progress on them?"
You need to define what you want in your purpose, your goals, fitness, school, social life, looks, dating, recreation time, etc...
And then set goals towards that and work towards it every single day. The more progress you make towards those goals, the happier you are. Happiness is like a bar that fills up the more you achieve those goals.
Every time I felt sad or unfulfilled, it was basically my brain telling me "Hey, you haven't made enough progress on this goal yet. I want more." If you feel sad, it helps to write down exactly WHY you feel sad, and what would make you happy. Then, take action steps to remedy that.
I think this is basically my key to happiness. I'd like to know what you all think as well.
