Waiting for someone to make you happy
Unhappy people are waiting for something or someone to make them happy. However, if you wait for others to make you happy, it will never happen. You are responsible for your own experiences. Your happiness depends more on your attitude and what you choose to do than on external circumstances.
Tips for exercising your brain for happiness:
- Treat each day as a treasure. Make every day count.
- Don't put off starting your passion project you've been thinking of.
- Stop comparing yourself to others. Instead, choose to become a better version of yourself.
