Happiness

"It's so important every day to do something that makes you happy." - Bob Ross

This is such good advice because you'll be so much better overall if you do this. If you don't do something that makes you happy everyday then you'll just be slugging through life. You'll just be like "oh it's just another day of nothing to look forward to," but if you do something that makes you happy then you'll have something to look forward to each and every day. You have to go after the things that make you happy because that's what you're going to be passionate about and put your whole heart into. Also, you're going to be unhappy if you don't do something that makes you happy every day.

Your work should be something that excites you, that makes you want to get up in the morning, it may still be a job, but you'll have something to look forward to about the job. You'll have something that you can live for and not just slug through life hoping that something will change. Stuff doesn't change unless you do something to make it change.

If you don't do things that make you happy then how are you supposed to put your best work into everything that you do, even if you don't want to do it? You can't, you'll just be complaining through the entire thing and not think about it as something that will help another person. You need to balance it out so that you can find happiness in things that you don't like doing. There is a time to be sad, but if you dwell in that sadness and don't do things that make you happy then you'll just keep digging yourself deeper down the hole.
