Hello Hives,
When I think about happiness, I have come to realize that it is not always connected to money or success.
There was a time in my life when I thought happiness would come when everything finally started working out. I believed that once I had enough money, my business was doing well, my plans were falling into place, and I could afford the things my family needed without struggling, then I would truly be happy.
But life has taught me something different.
Some of the moments that genuinely made me happy happened when I had very little.
I remember sitting with my family during difficult periods and still finding reasons to laugh. Sometimes we didn't have everything we wanted, but we had each other. Seeing my children happy, hearing their laughter, or simply spending time with my wife could completely change my mood.
Those moments may look ordinary to someone else, but to me, they mean a lot.
There have also been moments when I felt proud because something I worked hard for finally paid off. When you struggle for something and eventually see progress, the happiness is real. Whether it is making progress with work, farming, writing, or achieving a personal goal, there is a special satisfaction that comes with knowing you did not give up.
But the more I experience life, the more I understand that achievements alone cannot keep a person happy.
You can make money today and lose it tomorrow. You can achieve one goal and immediately have another one waiting. You can buy something you have wanted for years, enjoy it for a while, and eventually it becomes normal.
But memories with the people you love are different.
A funny conversation with your family can stay in your mind for years. A friend's support during a difficult period can mean more than money. Watching your children grow can give you a feeling that no material possession can replace.
Even the small things matter to me. A good meal after a stressful day. Watching football and seeing Chelsea win. 😂💙 A peaceful evening with my family. Waking up and realizing that despite everything I have been through, I still have another opportunity to try again.
These things remind me that happiness does not have to wait until life becomes perfect.
I still have dreams. I still want to achieve more, make more money, build a better future, and provide more for my family. But I'm learning not to postpone happiness until I reach those goals.
For me, achievement may give us something to celebrate, but the people and moments we share give us a reason to celebrate in the first place.
And honestly, those are the moments I want to remember most. ❤️
Thanks for Reading
