10 things happy people do: who cares?

When it comes to happiness, we’re doing it wrong.

Like: 180 degrees wrong.

Because most of us believe that happiness is what comes after activity and action and grinding.

We have to behave and think in a specific way to earn it.

Happiness is regarded to be the end result, the icing on the cake, but it’s the exact opposite.

Happiness is where it should start.

And it already does (and you’ll find out soon).

If you are a seeker for happiness and peace of mind and ease of living, you have probably worked your way through tons of books and blogs about these topics.

And they are always prescriptive and highly logical: happy/relaxed/confident people do this and this and this, so you should do it too.

Which makes sense if you look at it from the general perspective of learning.

It makes sense to learn from the best when it comes to mastering the piano, basketball, painting, karate, or whatever skills that require repetition and commitment and maybe some talent.

Hard work often delivers at least some results.
