"What does it mean to be happy?"

❤️ ever... ever thought that if you fulfill your dream, we will be happy forever? 💭

There was a phase of my life where I used to really believe that.

* If I study abroad... I'll be happy.

* If I get the fourth grade... I'll be proud of myself

* If you had the first $1 million... life would be more comfortable.

I looked at happiness like it was waiting at the "destination" and thought if I got there, everything would be perfect...

🏃‍♀️ But what if one day we can do everything?

Will we be happy forever?

Or will that happiness stay with us for a few days before we start chasing our new goals again?

"The problem lies not in having a goal, but in taking 'all happiness' and tying it to 'results'."

Because if you allow yourself to be happy on a successful day, our lives will only be happy for a few days, and the rest is running, tired and waiting...

🌱 Change the Way of Thinking: Accumulate "Small Happiness" Every Day

Besides big goals, I started to set small goals each day.

* ⏰ Get up early today in time?

* 🏃‍♀️ Did you exercise today?

* 📖 Have you read the book as intended today?

These goals may seem ordinary, but every time they succeed, it's a "little encouragement" that always fills itself, knowing that... happiness can happen on the way we're walking. ✨

🩹 date didn't go according to plan... what hurt the most?

Sometimes life is not beautiful, the exam is not passed, the job is missed, the effort is full, but the results are not what they think.

But what hurts the most is not failure...

It was the voice in the head that began to tell itself:

* "I'm not good enough"

* "I'll never do it"

* "Others, they've all gone so far."

Until that day, I realized that failing doesn't hurt us as "the words we use against ourselves." ❤️‍🩹

🚲 Patience is more important than talent.

When learning to ride a bike, no one has ridden since the first time, everyone has fallen, has been hurt, has been wounded.

The rider is today, not the one who never falls, but the one who gets up and tries again and again.

* Can fall...

* Can cry...

* Rest...

But when it's enough to rest, just get up and walk, because every step, even slow, is better than a stationary stop. 🐾

🌿 I still have a big goal today... but I'm not waiting to be happy anymore.

I chose to enjoy getting up early, working out, reading a little bit a day, and seeing myself grow up a little bit.

> Because true happiness may not be just about reaching a goal...

> But it is that we can "love ourselves" every step we take. 🤍✨
