WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

Most of us have been taught to believe that happiness is linked to our accomplishments. We think that we’ll be happy when we get married, or we’ll be satisfied when we get a promotion at work. We are convinced that we’ll find joy when we finally buy that luxury car.
But happiness is better linked to contentment. It’s about being content with what we have - not hunting for anything more than what we need. The abundance of the present is enough to lead a happy and healthy life.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that we should settle for things as they are. We should continue to dream, set goals, and work towards them. We just need to remember to enjoy the journey and not rush to make it happen.
Being grateful for everything we do have instead of spending most of our time thinking about what we don’t have, makes life a lot more beautiful. So take that first step toward happiness.
Filmed in Barrydale, South Africa.
