3 Things to Eliminate to Make You Happy

Yesterday, I met an old friend. She told me that she was unhappy. She is rich. She has a lot of expensive things, but those cannot make her happy.

She said that she had some friends that made her unhappy. She had tried to be kind to them, but they were unkind to her. They were jealous of her wealth and her achievement.

She liked comparing her life with other people. She kept thinking what other people’s opinions of her. It made her feel unconfident. When she failed, she blamed herself.

I remember what Lewis Howes-the founder of School of Greatness-said in one of his podcasts. He mentioned some things to eliminate to make you happy. I will mention three of them. Those are:

1. Bad people. They do not promote your growth. They do not bring joy to your life, either. You had better distance yourself from them.

2. Comparison to others and eliminate jealousy. Comparing your life with others will make you feel insecure. Jealousy makes you forget that your life is precious. The opposite of jealousy is gratitude.

3. Overthinking. It kills your happiness. You can start journaling to eliminate overthinking.
