Happiness is when reality exceeds our expectation
My second order of the book Solve for Happy arrived earlier than the expected 6-8 weeks. That made me happy.
Apa my summary of the book?
Happiness is subjective and is controlled by only one person. That one person is YOU.
YOU are fully in control to be happy and not to be happy. Macam ada on-off switch.
You are in control of your own expectation
How you can be more in control is by being aware of the your own blind spots in life. And these are related to
- Filters – we sometimes filter out important information
- Assumptions – kita pandai assume things when there are missing information
- Predictions – we make predictions about the future
- Memories – we make decisions based on memori lama-lama
- Labels – we label things from past experience
- Emotions – kita sometime emo sikit when we make decisions
- Exaggerations – we sometimes exaggerate the situation
Being aware of these 7 blind spots will help you manage your expectations and make you happier.
Choose to be happy la.
