Mhmm a nice job for a comfortable life ... that's the dream. I wish you and Chloe all the best 💜

🌞 How was your week? How do you feel?..... It went well.. got in lots of Pool and swim time, and enjoyed the beautiful hot summer days~
🌴 What is your biggest desire in life?.....Just be Happy~
@PoliteOcean
Hi Ocean 💜
Woooohoo! That's an awesome week, enjoy your beautiful summer 🌞
Absolutely, being able to experience happiness is important in life! 😌
My week was pretty neutral! Had a good balance between good and bad, I'd say, which is a win! Usually my mind can only come up with bad things, so yayyy!
My biggest desire in life is honestly just to be happy. This will come by finding a way to be a stay stable (emotionally/mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, etc!)
@TheBPDBaddie
Hello 💜
A win to celebrate, yayy! I love the way you see it. Hitting a good balance and not drowned in all-negatives is huge for sure 🏆
Happiness, of course. 😊 You already know the way for you to be happy too, that's amazing! I agree, having stability in the many areas of our life would mean happiness.
You've inspired me with your answer 😮 thank you! I just read an article (https://hbr.org/2021/01/what-you-were-taught-about-happiness-isnt-true). The author came up with this definition for happiness:
“Happiness is being able to ride the wave of every emotion that life throws at you, knowing that you can come out the other side just a little better than what you were before because you have the skills (focus, courage, curiosity), the resources (a positive mindset), and the support structure (a community) to make that happen.”
I think it's really cool that this definition is similar to yours. 🌟 Cheers!
I am having trouble figuring out how to be added to the tag list, can you please add me thank you
