We may not have the same opinions, paths and ways of living; but all of us, millions of people around the world, share the same life goal: to be able to say “I have a great life!” » What we mean by “good life” is living in pure happiness and having wonderful peace of mind. The difference between us is that each of us chooses a different path in our pursuit of happiness. Some find stability with a big house, a family and a well-paying job. Some find it in adventure and wilderness, travel and risk-taking. While others don't really have specific criteria or an organized plan, they simply believe that happiness comes from living each day as if it were their last, without worrying about the rest. Personally, I find it in trying to be the best version of myself, staying true to my principles, and at the same time being able to make my own decisions; which reminds me of what George Loewenstein said: "Just because we understand that X makes people happy and they choose Y, we don't want to impose X on them." Charles Bukowski once said in one of his letters: “Find what you love, and let it kill you.” I strongly disagree with this. In fact, the greatest pleasure in life is being able to recognize what we truly love and knowing how to live with it. Passions and dreams are what identify our existence. If we could find them and focus on achieving them, we would realize that they are the only things worth living for. For example, we can probably notice that an artist is always happier than an employee. Two people: One devotes himself to his art and his passion, takes each day as a new opportunity to make his talent more perfect than the day before. And the other which concerns e...... middle of paper ......f being satisfied in life: There are no rules. Every individual has the right to see things from their own point of view. We can all choose different paths and ways to achieve our happiness. We can see it in wealth, in our dream job, or in the people around us. As long as we choose this direction and make these decisions for ourselves, without being influenced by any outside thoughts, happiness is inevitable. Here I agree with Daniel Gilbert when he says, “I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that we can't always know what we want. This is why the most important thing to achieve happiness is to recognize our wants and desires, because it is precisely then that we can finally say “I am happy with my life!” » Works Cited • Gertner, Jon. “The vain quest for happiness”.
