The Foundations of True Happiness

Achieving true happiness is contingent upon three core elements: having something to do, something to love, and something to look forward to. Many individuals navigate life without real purpose, relying on fleeting societal metrics, ultimately leading to a sense of emptiness and regret. For example, people may work tirelessly towards early retirement only to find themselves lost without meaningful engagement. This lack of purpose can lead them to seek distractions, but without fulfillment in relational or personal aspects, life feels increasingly hollow.
