My Dad used to say, "Weigh your options. Make your choice. Then work your ass off to make it the right choice."

[ada]

Just be sure that the choice you make in the end is actually your own. If it's not, you will probably be unhappy even if you try really hard to make it work.

And now I'm getting ready to take my license exam at the end of the month, excited to start my nursing career.

Going to concerts by myself has been a great lesson in this. I'm at the happiest when I can just turn my phone off and immerse myself in the crowd and the music without another thought.

this evening i've watched a beautiful sunset, more beautiful that it has been for months.
I've decided to set aside everything unimportant to sit and watch it.
i've savored every minute of it and felt more contentment that i haven't felt in years

[go_better]

Thanks again, Dr. K. You're a planet's treasure.

Wish I had seen this when choosing a major. I was so stressed by making the absolute most perfect option possible for me because I didn't know what would make me happiest

[kitkatwitch]

Watching this live hit much harder, I think maybe starting the clip a little earlier might capture the moment a little more clearly. This tangent on happiness was top notch.

Learned today the verb "to savor" in English. Cool verb. Thanks from Italy.

I'm so glad I found your shorts. They're so much easier to share with my friends than an hour long video which can be daunting for them.

Also sounds like relationship expectations all over again. Expecting to be perfectly happy just by achieving the status of "being in a relationship".
I still don't know how I can figure out whether someone actually wants a relationship with *me* or is just searching for something to make them happy somehow, cause the latter has always led to unhappiness. I am really not able to perceive that :/
I also don't realise it when people lie about their hobbies and interests to me to make me think we'd share those just so that I'd agree to a relationship with them.
What to dooo

[FakeNatty]

I've internalised this from listening to the episode, and even brought it up in conversation last night.
Constant reminders are appreciated 🙏

[justindao]

I didn't need to wake up to such a personal attack, Dr. K lmao

[rickderico]

Making the choice that works VS. Making the choice work

[plantidentificationnewzeal]

Most choices I make now have a checklist and priorities, Ive never had a problem choosing though, I close my eyes and go on an adventure

[tmyoshimura]

Really insightful shorts. Appreciating it. 🙏

[kindpunk]

Yup. Doing the work is the most thing after making the right choice.

[remnant]

I kinda think happiness - maybe at least in part - comes from the way people interact with you. You can get a low-income job and be happy if all the people you purchase goods/services from are kind and respectful towards you and charge low prices, people around you don’t care about how much money you make and treat you as well as you treat them, and your job is low stress, a little fun each day, and fulfilling. If you get a low-income job and all around you people are asking for housing/rental prices you can’t afford alone, potential significant others treat you like crap because of how much money you make, car dealerships are demanding prices you can’t afford, your boss treats you horribly or overwhelms you with work every day, and you have no friends/fun at or after work, you’d be miserable. How people treat you makes a huge difference in how happy you are. The choices you make (e.g., what college you go to, what program you choose, where you move to) are probably part of it, but I think how people treat you is a much bigger factor in your happiness.

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

[SpacyPuccy]

I'm not looking for happiness in my choices, I'm scared that my choices will make me unhappy

[notequalto]

I was pretty unsure about my job but I've found I've come to like some parts of it overtime through savoring the experiences.
