THE TRUTH ABOUT HAPPINESS
I was on a road trip to the forest with my friend Becky, when she told me something she’d recently learned.
“We often think that we’re happy when we relax, like watching a favorite TV show, for example,” Becky said, her hands steady on the steering wheels, eyes fixed on the road ahead.
“But research shows that we’re most happy when we’re working on something meaningful to us, when we’re in flow.”
I think that’s why so many of us are feeling unhappy. Despite our nice apartment and our good salary, we feel “something is missing.”
Barbara Sher, the most candid self-help author I know, advised:
“Don’t fool yourself by making lists in your head of all the great things in your life. Happy people don’t have to make lists.”
I remember laughing out loud when I read this.
This advice is controversial. Every guru is telling us to practice gratitude. “Make a list of 10 things you’re grateful for every day!”
While I believe there is a virtue in this practice, I also see the truth in Barbara Sher’s advice.
The discontent you feel is valid. You’re not being difficult, spoiled, or ungrateful. This pain is your soul calling you to where you were born for.
My coach Bev Barnes, founder of the Soul’s Calling Academy, calls this Divine Discontent.
Don’t let gratitude practice, or any other spiritual practice, to numb this pain, to muffle this call.
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
Be honest with yourself and admit what isn’t working.
So stop running away. Feel the angst, the emptiness, the frustration.
Then ask your heart:
“What is the one tiny thing I can do to start finding the work I belong?”
And listen when it whispers the answer.

Me and my friends spent 3 days without any internet, and I have to say it was the most meaningful trip I have ever experienced. After getting detoxed from the digital world, it was evident that more people should move towards nature and spend more time offline. This whole experience made me appreciate the power of nature, and how we need to consider protecting it too. We as individuals have to co-exist with nature.

About Myself:
I guess I'm a filmmaker, adventure photographer, storyteller, and content creator...
I'm based in Tokyo, doing freelance video work for both Japanese and international clients.
My interest for video grew when I first went backpacking on my own. In the beginning it was just for fun, but I slowly found myself loving to express through visuals.

meaningful work 在 Tiara S. Dusqie Youtube 的最佳貼文
Hi Everyone! :) ( MORE INFO BELOW!)
Eid Mubarak! I decided to sit down, put some makeup on and share with you guys my experience of celebrating Eid this year during Singapore's Circuit Breaker*.
Because we are still in our Circuit Breaker period during Eid, a lot of things were done differently. We were told to recite the takbir, do Eid prayers and listen to the Eid sermon at home. We are also not allowed to visit friends and family, which is something very common to do in Singapore during Eid.
It's a long video, but watch on to find out my thoughts on this whole experience . I hope you all had a meaningful Ramadhan and Eid with your families even though things are different this time round.
Till then,
Stay healthy, stay safe.
Tiara xx
*The Circuit Breaker protocol is Singapore's version of a 'lockdown' whereby everyone is told to stay strictly at home unless they
are part of essential services or to get daily essentials (going to the supermarket). Everyone is encouraged to work from home or telecommute, and students were made to do Home Based Learning over this period. All retail outlets are closed during this period, and food establishments open only for delivery pick up and takeaway.
