Do you ever ask yourself what makes you happy?
Continue by asking yourself, what is it that I need to do to get myself there?
In this world of meeting deadlines and always trying to please family and friends, our own happiness gets lost somewhere.
We all get very busy and there’s always more and more to do as if we all live on autopilot, and before you know it, months go by and years go by and many of us don’t take the time to ask ourselves what makes us happy.
I know that life is crazy and many of us have no choice but to work for as many hours as we can and to push hard to get things done, but sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes or an hour for you to invest in yourself, your well-being, your physical and mental health, or anything related to YOU.
Yesterday, I was sitting in my office looking at my long-to-do list and then I looked at the photos of my family and asked myself what will make me happy right this moment.
Two things came to my mind immediately,
One was to work on my new book that I have been wanting to write for some time and the second was to talk to an estranged friend which I had been postponing for a while and it had been troubling me.
I just picked up the phone & talked to my friend and after the initial awkwardness, it was back to old times.
Then, I just cleared my desk, and wrote for an hour or so and voila, the start had been made and a chapter was finished.
I have already formed up my plans on what to do this Sunday and waking up late was one of them.
Reading with my favorite tipple in the evening, with some enchanting music in the background will complete the day.
We don’t have an eternity to live, time is ticking, let’s do what makes us truly happy & stay blessed forever.
