Why Einstein Said, If You Want to Live a Happy Life, Tie It To A Goal
A bigger purpose you deeply care about changes everything
Do you have life goals? Do they excite you? Do you look forward to taking small actions every day to get closer to it?
Long-term life pursuits change our approach to life. Something to look forward to makes you come alive every morning.
Einstein once said, “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”
Things are fleeting. People can fail you. A personal goal is your responsibility. It can apply to your life or career. A long-term goal that excites you is one of the most powerful sources of human happiness.
Do you remember how excited you were when you first thought of a career? Or the time when you first got admission into your college?
Both big and small life pursuits can excite us if we choose right. The moment when you started working and earning money was also pretty exciting. If you get excited about life-changing pursuits, plan small experiences and personal projects that can bring out the best in you almost every day.
