Some people say it’s impossible to be truly happy with everything in your life. As the first noble truth of Buddhism tells us:
If you are alive, you will suffer.
While that may be true – and may make life sound unappealing – it’s also true that the best way to get closer to true happiness is to know yourself.
Not merely by identifying your wants, needs and ultimate goals, but to really dig deeply into yourself and understand what drives you, what de-motivates you and what causes you to go running for the hills.
