Move over shopping carts, diamonds and sneakers. You fancy enduring true happiness? Find out what you can suffer for. The pain you choose to endure, sustain and live along with is what makes you really happy.
Consider the following, did your graduation gift make you more happy or the grades you achieved after slogging out for months or years. Did the annual perk at work satiate your happiness quotient or the successful completion of a gruesome project that no one volunteered to undertake?
We yearn for happiness thinking they are gained through matter. Our emotions nevertheless hinder on the opposite narrative, such is human behaviour. Suffering completes our story, engulfs our heart and gives us skin in the game. But only that suffering that we choose to undertake.
Be wise, choose wise.
