Animation: You didn’t waste your day

Have you ever ended your day by saying these words to yourself?

Perhaps you feel that you wasted your day because you’re comparing yourself to external Old Happy standards that tell you that happiness comes from being productive, achieving more and more, and winning in life’s competition. We’ve been told these things will make us happy — so they become our priority.

Unfortunately, they don’t, and their never-ending hunger for more, more, and more leaves us constantly sprinting towards the next achievement, missing the possibilities for happiness that do exist in every day.

It’s time to start evaluating our days by a new standard. For, if you look at it from a different perspective, you will be able to see the truth: you did not waste this day.
