Lesson 3 : Search for Happiness

January 16, 2012


< Continuation from previous post >


I'm currently reading Hector and the Search for Happiness by Francois Lelord.

Taken points from his book, I'm going to share his findings :

Lesson 3 :
Many people see happiness only in their future.

This is a lesson I need to learn. I always, always, always, think I can be happy when I achieve my dreams, so I am working hard for my future. Instead of living in my current life, I am working for my cloudy future. 

Well almost everyone does that, aren't we all? We spend of daily life, weekly life, monthly life, yearly life, to have a better future. Money for marriage, money for new house, new car, future children, their education, travel expenses, more entertainments, etc. You drag your feet every day to work, doing jobs that you are not even interested in. For things you want in the future.

I guess putting my happiness in future Paris was a mistake. I should live my life, today. Not tomorrow, not the week after, not in next June. 
*So, I should pack my bag and go to Paris exactly right now! 

Aha. I wish I have the guts to be that reckless.
*Back to work*

  2. But without goals to achieve, life would be purposeless.
