Episode 314: Don’t Push for Happiness - Do this Instead…
Manage episode 397657280 series 2483193
“I just want them to be happy…”
How many times have you caught yourself saying this about your friends, your family, your kids? Be honest!
But what does that actually mean? And is it even possible?
In this episode of Habits & Hustle podcast I share why we’re not here to chase fleeting moments of joy. We're here to build robust foundations of self-esteem. To live a life full of productivity and purpose. It’s time to shift our perspective on what we want for our children’s future, and our own.
What I discuss…
(02:09) The fallacy of happiness as an old goal & the damage that can do
(06:40) The importance of hard work and self-efficacy in building a fulfilling life
(09:47) How to avoid the trap of instant gratification and instead make decisions with long-term fulfillment in mind
…and more!
