So lately, in an effort to better my life, I've been looking more into the idea of happiness and how it can be different for different people.
It started when I watched the fantastic documentary aptly titled "Happy" where it shows how we can often take things for granted. There are people in this world living with hardly any money, yet they consider themselves to be completely happy. Highly recommended film.
I'm currently reading a book called "Happier" where the author describes happiness and gives ways in which we can obtain it. I've tried to incorporate some of the stuff in my life and I feel like it can work.
In high school, I thought I would be happy when I got into college. Well that happened, yet I still wasnt fully happy. Then, I felt I would be happy once I got a good paying job. I got one but I still feel like theres something missing in my life. Now I feel that I would be happier if I made new friends and got myself a girlfriend...but now I'm not sure if thats the case. I just feel like I'm constantly looking towards the future trying to find something that would make me happy. And as a result, I feel like I'm wasting my life.
So my question is, what would make you happy? I'm sure most of us on this forum would be happier being "less lonely" but is that really the case? Or is there more to it?
