The Key To Happiness

You come home from a long day of work.

It was a very stressful day and you long for the comfort of your couch.

You step outside your car and walk to your front door when you notice that you’ve got mail.

Knowing it can be nothing good you open up the letters and find Bills, one more expensive than the other.

The thoughts begin racing in your head:

How are you going to pay for all of this? What are you going to do? Why is this so expensive? Where can you save? You need a raise at work but for that you have to work even harder and that’s too stressful already!

Your stress level shoots through the roof. You are not happy.

It’s this kind of stress that most of us deal with every day.

And it all comes from caring too much!

We care about how they are perceived by others, that they always feel a certain thing, and that everything goes according to their plan.

We want everything to work out for them, be perfect in every way, have all the luck in the world and only feel those juicy, positive emotions.

But what if you just didn’t care about all of that?

What if you didn’t care how others perceive you and just acted out what you wanted?
