Recently I have found myself wanting to change things I do to make me a happier person. It's not that I'm a sad person, but who wouldn't mind being happier? For example--watching less TV, spending less time on social media (such a time suck!), and meditating daily are all on my agenda.
The other day I read an article on the Grant Study, which is a 75 year study on human development by Harvard University. Here are 5 key insights to happiness that George E. Vaillant, the director of Harvard's Grant study for the last 30+ years, concluded...
- Alcoholism is extremely destructive to your relationships and success
- Past a certain level, it doesn't matter how smart you are
- Older liberals get more action in bed (!)
- The warmth of your parental relationships affects you as an adult
- Happiness is love. Full stop
The last point really hit home. It was a nice reminder to surround myself with relationships that I truly love from family, to friends, to work. And thank you, if you're reading this. I'm so grateful for stumbling upon this blog however you found it and I hope my love for you and this blog brings you a little happiness!
