What is advice? This is a piece of information intended to serve as a warning, showing the consequences of a possible action that one might take in the future.
There is different advice floating around and even though they appear nice and good, not every advice can apply to our life. The reason is because our life is peculiar to us and not every advice can be applicable even though they mean well.
In our world today, we talk about different things to make people happy and what and what not to do about happiness. Even with the awareness of happiness messages in different form, we still have a lot of people who aren’t happy and much depressed people in the world.
My advice is about self-development and purpose, which is the key pathway to cultivating happiness.
Being born into an environment and circumstances, we are taught ways of life that people think is good for us, our inclination and what we think is good for us are as a results of what we have learnt over the years.
But when we get a little level of independence from family and from society, it’s very essential for us to unlearn, learn and relearn.
This is the time for us to look inward and think for ourselves what are we really created for in this life. This is finding our key to happiness.
Between the year 2022 and now, I’ve read a lot of self developmental books, some are good and some aren’t good but the focal points of all of them is that, discovering your purpose is the pathway to happiness.
Purpose is that inclination, passion or your talent that you love doing and it gives you joy.
When you discover your purpose, it set you on a trajectory of life long happiness. The kind of environment you are is what reasonate with you, the kind of relationship you make is what make you happy. A purposeless lie is a wasted life.
The creator of life has deposited so kind of talent in us that can only be exhibited if we discover the purpose.
One thing about purpose is that it isn’t for ourselves but for all humanity. It goes beyond self. It’s something you love doing for others whether or not you make money from it. It just gives you this sense of fulfilment and uplifting. A day can’t go by without you filling that gap for people because it makes you happy.
In conclusion, the pursuit of happiness is not a general societal prescription but a personal inward journey. Self development and the pathway of discovering purpose is the guiding light to this. They empower us to forge our unique path, one that resonates with our authentic selves and contributes positively to the world around us. As we embrace the transformative power of purpose, we not only find happiness but also become catalysts for a more meaningful and interconnected society.
