Writing about happiness felt strange when I wasn't sure if I was feeling it, or if I even wanted to write at all. But I was reminded that this is what professionals do. They take the step, even when the road ahead is unclear. They recommit time and again. Because they understand that this is the only way to move forward and learn more about themselves and the world around them. And happiness, it turns out is a result of sticking with the process.

This spark might seem nonexistent the next day, only to return again and last a fraction longer. Noticing it is all that's needed to keep it coming back. Stay inspired. Keep inspiring  Photo by Eric Han on Unsplash  Photo by Marten Newhall on Unsplash I used to think that the goal in life was to find constant happiness.
But the examples I was given as a kid were unrealistic and unattainable. They were hard to relate - either about famous people or distant acquaintances that I never knew. And my own experience showed me a different reality. Living in a middle-class family in Eastern Europe had its challenges. It didn't mean we were unhappy, but I always imagined there was more to it. Especially according to the examples. What I didn't know of was the constant joy that the journey can bring. The blissful struggle of trying and failing, and yet trying again. The happiness obtained in becoming was a secret never whispered. It turns out, the comfort zone was not heaven but in fact hell. And beyond it is where the confidence zone is in - the place to embrace discomfort and trust the outcome. Stay inspired. Keep inspiring. |
