Today we pitched our project idea to Catherine and well, we were just bouncing some ideas around. It centres around life satisfaction, or happiness, and the different factors that might contribute to it. Attaining success is one of them but what is the definition of it?
In the end, she cautioned us,
"Don't confuse Success with Happiness."
Sounds simple enough? But her words kept resonating in my mind and I just couldn't shake it out of my head. What exactly is success and with success, will happiness definitely follow?? Why do some live in poverty but stay happy while others who have no financial worries are constantly battling discontentment??
What is success to me?? And what will give me happiness?? Am I satisfied with life now?? What about in the future?? If I am working to ensure happiness in the future, that must mean that I am not happy now right? I am discontented with what I have that is why I am "working" to ensure future happiness...
Puzzling and almost cyclical train of thought that just won't go away... Causing my eyes to feel hot and dry and irritated... Could be the contact lenses though...
Uncertainty isn't fun at all and haha, the articles that we read and try to understand are just making me more confused about the human mind... Maybe should quit school and become a full-time nanny like Izyan suggested.
