Short Term Happiness

It's not bad, but it isn't what everyone on earth should be striving for.
Today, I finally got the exam results I had been looking forward to for, let's just say a LONG time.

 And hey, I got straight As! But I wasn't as happy as I had imagined, though I felt really satisfied with myself. I never really thought I could do it, but there's proof that I can.. :) I'm really really really happy, sure. But this is really just short term happiness. Life goes on. Sure, maybe one day in the future I might look back on it and feel proud (seeing as everyone's proud of me now), but that's just as far as it goes. Still, I'm glad I can fill this little chapter of my life with this memory. This is a great accomplishment,and I intend for more to come.
  So what I'm trying to say is, do something that you know will make you happy for life, not just a day, a month or a year. Short term happiness isn't bad. There's just more to life than that.

  1. Congratulation Baby Nat Nat for the 7As!! I am so proud of how you show up, your wisdom and great awareness in the experience. Yeap! 7As is just a goal, it does not give you long term true happiness. True lasting happiness and joy comes when you are living in total alignment of your core values and intention.

    I am most proud of your attitude towards things that you believe in,with total commitment,consistency and always doing your best.Appreciation of CV that we become great friends in life, learning and growing together and uplifting each other. Appreciate that your academic performance or studies never comes in between us, all we have is total trust and pure friendship. I love you!!
