How to be happy

Note to self:

  1. Remember: You are already enough just as you are, right here, right now. You don’t need to achieve or do anything. 1
  2. Remember: The only competition in life โ€” if you must think of it that way โ€” is to know yourself as fully as possible, and act with maximum authenticity towards that truth.
  3. Remember: All things considered, you have it good โ€” many around the world would kill to switch places and inherit every single one of your problems.

  1. This is a Buddhist teaching. See “Nothing to Attain” by Thich Nhat Hahn.
