Happiness, love & passion aren’t things you find, they are choices you make.
1) Get your health in order:
If you’re not fit enough to make money, hangout with friends or do the things you love - then you are not going to be happy.
Health is the foundation of happiness.

2) Chase financial freedom:
You cannot buy happiness, but you can buy your way out of common causes of unhappiness.
Renunciation is ineffective in the long run - and happiness without material comfort is playing life on hard mode.

3) Have fewer desires:
Desire is a contract you make to remain unhappy untill you get what you want.
Human wants are insatiable, yet no external thing will make you happy forever.
Contentment brings peace, peace brings happiness.

Peace is happiness at rest, happiness is peace in motion.
Happiness makes you peaceful in passivity, peace makes you happy in activity.

6) Avoid envy:
Happiness is an internal game, you play against yourself.
When your feel envious of someone -
don’t just choose one aspect of the lives, be ready to do a 100% + 24/7 swap with them.
Do you still want their lives?

7) Reduce your sense of self:
Self-improvement is a recipe for self-conflict.

All your accomplishments and shortcomings will go to dust.
