I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always gotten a thrill, a kick, from learning new things.
I was looking for something to make me happy, and once I realised what I actually had, then I found success.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
I learned that you go through things, you deal with them and that's what empowers you and ultimately makes you a happy person.
Nothing thrills me more than to be good at something. It's very rewarding, and I feel grateful and blessed, and I never take it for granted.
I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That's when I realized that excitement, if it's happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.
The closest synonym of happiness is excitement, and you can generate it by doing something that you can't completely comprehend. This understanding makes the process rich and exciting.
I need to learn to be happy and enjoy the achievement rather than already thinking about what I could have done better.
I get excited about people doing stuff, and to whom I want to give. And I believe in giving back to people who have helped me and my family in the past. The key is getting excited.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
