Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. The most valuable and real property is The space you occupy in other peoples Heart. You do not write your life with words. You write it with actions. What you think is not important, it is only important what you do. Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied, keep your mind off things that don’t help you. Think positive. Dwell on a thing of substance. Spent more than a few minutes, in meaningful focus. Pick a place where you can dive deeply into some specific aspect of life, and see how deep you can go. Find out how long you can stay there. Do you seek a meaningful connections to life, to reality, to your own nature, to the lives of others? Then you must invest time and effort in those connections. If you flitter endlessly from this new thing to the next new thing, what does that accomplish? It fills you with content but empties you of context, of purpose, of meaning. It’s great to discover new places, meet new people, learn and experience new things. But if you immediately abandon them all in the hopes of getting more, what’s the point? Embrace novelty, but not to such an extent that your life has no depth. Go deep, and make enduring connections with knowledge, with people, with experience, with what is real. When your efforts bring disappointment, the worst thing you can do is abandon those efforts. Keep making the efforts, and eventually you will work your way to the results you desire. Quitting won’t end your frustration or despair. On the contrary, quitting will just lock the frustration and despair permanently in place. Instead of giving up, make the commitment to work through. Work through disappointments, discouragement, frustration and work your way towards success. When you feel like stopping, like you are hitting the wall, keep going. Keep going and you will get through that wall into a more creative, productive state of flow.”
