#2: Surround yourself with people.

When we’re down, we need time alone. Most times it works. Sometimes it gets worst. You start to refuse the company of others for an extended period of time. This makes you more prone to depression.

There is no one around to distract you, to share with, to give an objective opinion. When alone you start to exaggerate the situation and obsess over this blown-up version of the truth. You sink deeper into helplessness, at the same time refusing help because it seems so futile.

Do you see the vicious cycle here?

ALLOW OTHERS TO HELP YOU. Sometimes I think alright I’m so upset. Today I promise I will sulk in the corner and not talk to anyone. But in good company, it’s almost impossible to do so. Friends are such an effective source of distraction. And most times, they offer great insights and advice as well.

SO TODAY’S LESSON: give others a chance! Happiness cannot be achieved alone~ This is really funstuff! I already have something in mind for tomorrow!

A place that isn’t some kind of Futurama space-zone. I want to live near the countryside. Maybe a vineyard of sorts with animals. I want to be successful enough to provide for my family and live comfortably, but not successful enough to be working every minute of my life.

Also, kids. There will be happy kids I will love with everything I have.

So basically, I don’t have much insight for the future. To be realistic I will be married, in Singapore, with a career I enjoy, and in touch with my friends.  Moderation in everything. If you think that’s a little unambitious of me, then I’ll tell you what the Stickypost on this blog already tells you:

My ultimate goal in life is to find happiness in everyday life.

So I guess in 10 years I want to be happy, in a place I will be happy in.
