Is it possible to ever be happy with where you are at if you are always chasing the ‘next big thing’? Do we preach a lifestyle of constant discontent as we keep moving the goalposts? No. We believe that you can be both completely content whilst striving for further progress. It comes in a number of forms:
- Gratitude – look around and recognise all of the positive things that already exist in your life, whether that be in the form of relationships, circumstance, employment, living situation, finances, health, etc. Be actively grateful and mindful of how these things bring happiness to your life.
- Acknowledgement – acknowledging our position in life by comparing ourselves to ourselves before we made any progress, and also looking at our aspirations and seeing the path to further improvement is a pivotal step in knowing yourself, your strengths, weaknesses and areas to build on. It helps us to be realistic with who we are and to react in relation to our tendencies.
- Inspiration and Constant Evolution – We don’t see goal setting as a dreary pressure to collect a list of accomplishments that make you fit in to a certain stereotype of success. We encourage people to focus in on their passions and priorities and bring these to life, day by day. Thus, it isn’t about telling people that they aren’t good enough and they have a long way to go before happiness. It is about redirecting and ensuring that our lives are aligning to our values and beliefs, bringing us ever closer to our deepest desires. There is no ‘finish line’, as we always seek to be better people, better versions of ourselves. This just means that we get to know ourselves more and more through the process and continue to bring our life into alignment with this in mind.
