Many people believe that happiness is something that happens to them. Something dependent on external circumstances like career success, relationships, or financial security. But this view makes happiness conditional and fleeting. When life doesn’t go as planned, people begin to feel stuck, helpless, and resentful, waiting for something or someone to bring joy into their lives.
An evidence-based and empowering approach is to recognize that happiness is a choice, a product of deliberate mindset, personal responsibility, and meaningful action. In this Efiko podcast episode, we explore practical ways to take ownership of your happiness by redefining success, focusing on your unique strengths, choosing your circle of influence wisely, and avoiding the trap of comparisons. This shift in perspective can transform your personal well-being and professional fulfillment.
