5 Ways to Live a Simple, Happy Life
“In order to seek one’s own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.” — Plato
Life is complicated and is filled with so many material things, so much stuff, that it gets harder and harder to appreciate the essential concepts of life.
Let's get back to basics. Make simplicity your number one focus. Blow off some steam, and use these easy steps to take a risk for your happiness and start preparing your next move!
Listen.
If you feel uninspired by your current career or life path, maybe it’s time to switch up your schedule. This week, take a new class, hit a networking event—try new things until something sparks.
Find your strengths.
Strengths are different than skills. Take an online strengths finder test to see where you are, where you need to improve and what possibilities are available to you.
Risk it.
Seeking happiness takes courage. Be willing to risk it all for that one thing that keeps you up at night. Failing is better than never trying.
Define happiness.
Developed by studying the happiest countries in the world, happiness is found at the intersection of pleasure, pride and purpose.
Prep then step.
Before starting your next project, draw up a concrete plan for the vision and direction. Prepare before you launch, but don’t prepare so much that you’re afraid to take the first step.
