In this broken reality, where we are constantly seeking happiness, it is an important question to ponder where do we find happiness?Ā
And what does "being happy" really mean?

Life is a series of choices & consequences
Ever since I started studying the art & science of decision-making, one thing has become extremely evident.
Our life is a series of choices we make, and the consequences we experience.
Thatās it.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Wanted vs Unwanted consequences
All our struggles, all our stress,
All our pain, all our defeats,
Everything seems to be an interplay between the choices we have to make, and the consequences we want.
If we face a āwanted consequenceā we are elated! We are happy!
If we face an āunwanted consequenceā we are disappointed, we are extremely unhappy.

The lesson that I learn from this understanding, is we can never control the outcome of our choices. We can hope for the consequences we wish to face, but it will always be a probability and not a guarantee.
What we do control is the choices we make. Thatās it.
Right from the people we choose to date,
the jobs that we sign up for,
the cars that we buy, and
the parties we attend - all of these are choices we are making each and every day.

Secret for a Happy Life.
If you zoom out, our ālifeā is nothing but a series of ātoday'sā we are living.
We only live for one day, every day.
We have memories of our past, and we may have plans for our future.
But as the famous riddle goes, āTomorrowā is always approaching, but it never truly arrives.
Now think about it, if we are happy about the choices we are making every day, arenāt we bound to live a happy life?
