Happiness is not binary. You are not always happy or unhappy, it’s a sliding scale with plenty of facets. But overall happiness can be achieved through the balanced pursuit of life goals. The first step is understanding yourself and what makes you happy. What gives you energy and what takes energy away? Through this process, you can get clarity on what you want to pursue in various aspects of your life, be it work, relationships, health, wealth, education, or anything else. With that clarity, you can then build a plan to work toward each of those goals incrementally every day. You will get closer and closer as you begin to execute your plan, but you must also realize that the so-called “finish line” or “light at the end of the tunnel” is not where true happiness resides. True happiness begins the moment you are clear on what you want to achieve to live the best version of your life, make a plan to get there, and begin to take those first steps. And it only gets better over time.
