Short Term or Long Term Happiness?

by LastingLifeSuccess
4 replies
Some people tend to spend the greater part of their lives investing in a series of small events which provide Short Term Happiness. This involves marginal to reasonable suffering over a short to moderate time frame in order to secure that short term goal.

Then there are those who drive and drive. They are going for the Long Term Happiness plan. This involves moderate to major suffering in all forms now and in the future for some protracted period of time in order to provide extended Long Term Happiness . . .when it finally arrives.

I’m still trying to figure out where I belong in the above scenarios. Warriors, you?

        I think all of us to a certain extend desire Long Term Happiness. That doesn't equate to having to do certain things on purpose to achieve it though. Many of us I believe, are Myopic, we can't see the direct consequence of our present actions. Sure, there are some things that have an indirect consequence on your Long Term Happiness (Studying really hard in school, Working hard at your Job etc) but that doesn't mean we are actively engaging the taught that 'This will make me happy in the future'. If you ask me, there's really no such thing as a permanent solution to happiness. Just be happy and enjoy the now.

        Take Care

    I always ask myself when I am making a decision whether it is going to be beneficial in the long term, or if it will just be a short term band-aid solution for a long term problem. The sooner you can start working towards the long term lifestyle that you want to build for yourself, so faster you will be able to enjoy the lasting happiness that goes along with it.
