Strive for Growth > Happiness
It's hard to always be "happy." And sometimes, things that make us "happy" today won't do it tomorrow.
Growth might make you feel more content than chasing "happiness."
1. Growth with Family
Your spouse, children, parents, and extended family. Working on these connections.
2. Growth with Friends
Dial into less relationships and build them more.
3. Growth in community
Are you making your community better? Even just being a productive member of society is important.
4. Growth in education
What are you learning? Education doesn't stop after high school or college. It probably starts after the traditional timeframe...
5. Growth in career
Is your business growing? Your role within an organization? If it's stalling, maybe look for new opportunities.
6. Growth in your hobbies
What do you do with your free time? If you love your hobbies, get better at them. If you don't, find some new ones that interest you.
7. Growth with your health
Are you stronger than you used to be? More flexible? Weigh less? Faster? It is harder as you get older. I would say keep striving for more, but don't be too vain in your health. A nice barometer is are you in better shape than the average person your age?
