After I was really unhappy and unhealthy, I think it dawned on me to stop doing the unhappy, unhealthy things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the reasons I was so unhappy for years was because I never embraced my emotions and I was trying to stay in control.
I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.
With happiness as with health: to enjoy it, one should be deprived of it occasionally.
I eventually realized that good things wouldn't happen to me if I didn't make the right choices.
I was on paper earning more money and having more success than I'd ever had. And it was also the most miserable I've ever been. When those things collided, I realised something was off. That's when I started poking around to figure out what was wrong.
The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.
I turned into a workaholic to the point of where my health was in jeopardy.
I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.
I stopped living according to my core values. I knew what I was doing was wrong but thought only about myself and thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to.
