Sharing with you some learnings on being happy.
First, happiness is a sense of well-being, joy, and contentment.
While living in Japan I was lucky to experience Japanese friendship with extraordinarily kind treatment. At the same time, I saw that the very linear way of life creates a lot of suffering in the country. Reflecting on my home country Germany, I realized that even though most people have no materialistic reason to complain, many people are still not happy. While being in Mexico, I could observe the power of collectivism and the Mexican way of enjoying life moment by moment.
Now, the most powerful realization I had while living in these three countries is that even though there are externalities to being happy, the only way to true and sustained happiness is to take responsibility and create your own life and experiences.
No matter where you are; if you know yourself, live self-determined and free, it'll ultimately make you happy and fulfilled.
Make today a happy day :)
