Hustling and taking action won't make you happy.

You may think you are unhappy because:

  • you are lazy
  • you are not excited about anything
  • you don't have a vision
  • you are procrastinating
  • you can't get yourself to take action

But this is not true.

Extrovert outgoing people have it easy. They do stuff all the time. Then they try to convince you to "just do it".

They don't understand this:

Beating yourself up and feeling guilty makes you less productive.

Feeling bad makes you take less action.

It's feeling good and being happy that leads to more action.

When you want to hustle and make yourself feel bad for it, it may work but it's not sustainable.

There is another way:

Stop hustling, start being happy.

You can be happy right here, right now.

In 2018, I thought I needed to work harder, put in more time and more effort. Then the more I wanted to hustle, the less happy I was.

Then one day, I finally got it. I stopped wanting to hustle and became happier than ever.

Paradoxically, being happy also makes you hustle effortlessly.

The hustling mentality is toxic.

You don't need anything to be happy.

Everything happens now, not in the future.

Be happy now and make working hard effortless.
