What Would It Take To Make You Happy?
Defining happiness for you is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It is different than being successful, so think about it now, while you still have the time, before you are wrapped up in unexpected highs or lows.
What would it take to make you happy?
The higher your bar is, the harder it is going to be to achieve it.
I want to be a New York Times Best Seller by next year!
If we know about what it takes, we know it will be longer than that, most certainly, just from being familiar with the process to get published.
I want to have my own webtoon by next year!
That is certainly more feasible!
Now, it is important to know that you may consider this something to make you happy. If you look carefully, it looks a lot like what we would say when we are defining our success.
I want to have my own home studio by next year. Then I’ll be happy.
If this is you, and you know that having a space designed just for your IP creation is what will give you happiness, then go ahead.
I want my friends to love it!
It is hard to please people, and we can’t control anyone but ourselves, so change what would make you happy instead, so you don’t have to end up miserable one day because your friend groups just never happened to support you in your IP days.
Think hard. Think long. If you don’t know, keep thinking!
Know what will make you happy and start there.
