To be happy, you need to be excited about your life. You should have something to look forward to doing each day. That doesn’t mean that everyday is going to be full of sunshine and butterflies, but, for the most part, you should be energized when you wake up. You shouldn’t feel drained before you even get your day started.
People think that they should move on from something they dislike. That’s only half of the happiness equation though. Yes, you want to reduce the things that cause you pain or suffering, but eliminating those things will not completely fill your happiness tank. Being happy isn’t just about running away from what you hate, but instead running toward something that you love.
Remember to add energizing activities to your schedule, whether that’s hanging out with friends, working out, reading a good book, playing sports, volunteering, etc. It will be different for everyone, but it’s important that we all have hobbies that we can regularly enjoy.
