This rare 𝙍𝙄𝙎𝙀𝙐𝙋 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 popped inside my head during my healing retreat in Thailand.
I lost everything I built for the past 16 years, and how can I be happy after all that?
In this short video, I share how happiness can be so simple in our complex world.

+ It is not about positive thinking,
+ It is more than having that travel revenge
+ It is more than buying things that you like.
1️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
+ Wealth is something you already have
+ Happiness is about managing your expectations.
+ Expectation is something you have full control over, but we choose not to.
2️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲.
+ The more expectations you have, the more short-term your happiness is.
+ Does not mean you do not treat yourself to good things in life, but is that all?+ Are we defining our happiness too narrowly? No thanks to advertisement.
3️⃣ 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆?
+ Any bonus is a bonus, but I’m not expecting the bonus.
+ Anything “extra’, helps to springboard your happiness to the next level.
+ Simply because you have a low expectation and are not expecting it.
𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆,
+ Are you living according to the expectations of people and society?
+ Or are you living according to what you want for yourself?
+ Low expectation does not mean I don’t perform.
But If you are happy and grateful for what you have, you will naturally want to perform above the baseline.
