I’ll never forget the day when I heard a concept that completely shifted my perspective and changed my life. The concept was simple: change the definition of happiness. Woah – mind blown! I didn’t realize that we could define happiness for ourselves. I thought happiness was something that just happened to us and a feeling we experienced when good things happen. Determined to understand happiness, I spent a lot of time thinking about what happiness could mean for me. It had to be something I could embrace, something that genuinely brought me joy.
After some reflection, I realized that I loved learning new things, exploring, and testing out new concepts. So, I redefined happiness as the act of learning something new. This new definition sparked my passion for lifelong learning, which has kept me curious, growing, and ultimately seeking a better way of life for myself, and later, for my family.
