“essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
“Be led by your curiosity, and keep busy by doing things that fill you with meaning and happiness.”
2. Be with your loved ones.
“Talking each day with people you love, that’s the secret to a long life”
“We all get together here and talk - it’s very important. I always know I’ll see them all here tomorrow, and that’s one of my favorite things in life”
3. Observe, not control
“people who live the longest have two dispositional traits in common: a positive attitude and a high degree of emotional awareness. Those who face challenges with a positive outlook and can manage their emotions are well on their way toward longevity.”
“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.”
"Taking small steps at a time and cultivating a habit of discipline helps get past inertia blocks into the zone of flow."
5. Be antifragile
"To build resilience into our lives, we shouldn’t fear adversity as each setback is an opportunity for growth. If we adopt an antifragile attitude, we’ll
find a way to get stronger with every blow, refining our lifestyle and staying focused on our ikigai."
