Recipe for a Joyful Life

There was a recent survey of millennials asking what they considered to be important life goals. Over 80% said that getting rich was a major goal while 50% said that ‘becoming famous’ was top of their priority list. Getting rich and/or famous should be a bi-product of a life well lived and the arbitrary measure of happiness does not hinge on either of those two things. If it did the rich and famous would be dancing in the streets all night. Before pushing harder to achieve more and setting down this lonely and unfulfilling road, take a word of advice from our elders. As the saying goes ‘those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it’. Having a moment of clarity now will save you a tonne of heartache and unhappiness in the future.
