Life inevitably presents us with challenges, and while these difficulties may diminish over time, they rarely disappear entirely. However, those who possess wisdom can maintain their happiness regardless of life's obstacles.

How do they achieve this? They concentrate on the singular aspects of life that bring them joy, rather than getting bogged down by the countless things that bring sorrow.

Despite our journey being about experiencing joy, passion, and love, life won't always serve these emotions in abundance. When faced with tough moments, akin to receiving a piece of bitter chocolate, we must acknowledge that feeling but choose to focus on the happiness that lies ahead. Life is a long journey, and we should cherish our joyful moments, revisiting them when we seek solace.

Each moment we live is unique and fleeting. It makes sense to devote our time to happiness rather than negativity. While there may be endless reasons for discontent at any given moment, the choice to embrace joy ultimately rests with us. If we choose happiness, nothing, not even divine forces, can hinder our ability to feel fulfilled.

Investing wisely in finances is one thing, but investing in happiness is far more crucial. The happiness we can attain in life has a finite capacity. If we exhaust our joy too early, we might find ourselves less fulfilled later on. By being mindful in our happiness during our younger years, we can leave room for joy in our later decades. The joyful moments are gifts from God, yet our capacity for happiness is not confined to these moments alone.

Happiness is not merely a result; it is a skill to be cultivated. By focusing on the positive moments, we can enhance our happiness. The stars in the night sky can serve as reminders that even in darkness, there is always a glimmer of light. These tiny lights can guide us back to our center when we feel lost. They signify that even when darkness envelops us, there are still reasons to celebrate and appreciate life.

Keep your focus on those stars. By concentrating on your North Star—perhaps a day when you felt profound gratitude—you can navigate back to inner peace during turbulent times. Start gathering your North Stars.
