    I think we need to intentionally make time for happiness everyday. I was raised with the mindset of always thinking about the long-term and making (financial etc) sacrifices today for a better "tomorrow" but that is such a lie. I am now unlearning a lot of that and trying to not be guilty about spending on things/experiences that make me happy. It's a mindset!

    I'm 42 and wish I had traveled more when I was in my 20s. I was too concerned with getting an apartment and all new furniture and a brand new car... I could have just stayed in the studio apartment and driven a used car, and put that money towards travel. Now I have kids and lots of bills, and probably can't really travel like I want to until my kids are out of the house.

    At 33, I decided to chase a dream I had (and also lost along the way) for 17 years. It meant some incredibly huge, and at times challenging, decisions had to be made. I went back to studying, worked for a bit, but knew I needed to take some time off to heal, improve (change) my mental health....which is where I'm at currently.

      you work 10 hours a day which means you still have 14 hours at home.
      asuming you work 6 days a week it would amount to 108 hours of free time.
      if we take away 9 hours of sleep a day you are still left 43 hours of free time in a week.

    • @TheTMNTurtle
      @TheTMNTurtle Před 7 měsíci +2

      I would not confuse “not at work” time as “free time”
      43 isn’t much when considering house chores, groceries, getting ready for work, self care, cooking. And excluding things like car maintenance, appointments, and assuming no child.
      With your math, that’s 4 hours a day of not working or sleeping for the first 1-6 days and 15 hours of not working or sleeping on the 7th day. All without considering the above.

    Ive grown up really poor my entire life, and recently came down on harder times during which I met some of the best people Ive ever met. My best friend paid for my trip to jamaica, just bc she wanted me there. Thay was when I realized that I needed to travel to be happy, and that even though I cant afford to go overseas often, I can probably afford a weekend trip somewhere in the U.S, which is already huge as fuck (blessing and a curse) if I live really cheaply abd frugally. I might end up living really boring when im at home, but Id rather be able to experience a lot of new things in the places I visit.

We also have to think that we bring ourselves wherever we go, and our vibe will also rubbed off to others, so if we are joyful we can find happiness in our work place it may not on others at least we have it in ourselves and that should be good enough

    Happiness fades turns into sadness in a never ending circle. Don't expect any kind of solution from consuming, traveling or any other person or activity.
    Learn to accept and be calm. That's the only long term solution. You don't deserve anything, so stop feeling sorry for yourself.

    If you were a business owner you’d be happiest when working even on Sunday’s because no days off.
