Creating a life you love
Can I let myself have what I already have?
Arthur thinks of it like food:
The macronutrients of happiness are enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning.
Main dishes are faith, family, and friends.
BUT this happiness is declining in the US by ~0.5% on average each year.
On Happiness from Arthur Brooks
Every significant thing in your life will come with trade-offs.
-Think about what you want, and what you're willing to give for it.
-What your priorities are & sacrifices.
It's better to make trade-offs intentionally, than have others dictate them as you move through life.
“It’s impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously you might as well not have lived at all.” — J.K. Rowling https://t.co/gR6ToTXbgf
