After last week's post, I decided to stop angsting about not writing and to just go with the flow. To be honest, I struggle to think clearly knowing there's still so much stuff that's waiting to be sorted and put in the proper places.
But I don't want to neglect my blog. So, in a bid to get my brain closer to 'writing' mode, I dug out some quotes… about writing. And how true the first one is, by our good friend, 'anonymous'.
The past few days, I've noticed online articles about an equation for happiness. The man who's responsible for it, who spent almost 10 years formulating the equation, is Mo Gawdat, an executive at Google.
He ended up testing his equation on himself in a most tragic way when his 21-year-old son, Ali, died in what should have been a routine operation. When it hit him that there was nothing he could do to bring his son back, he realised he had a choice – he could either choose to suffer or he could choose to accept life despite how harsh it had become and try to make each day slightly better than the previous one. And he shares his happiness equation and story in his book, 'Solve For Happy'.
Instead of going into the details of all that Mo Gawdat has talked about, which can be found in countless interviews and videos on the internet, I thought I'd share 'happy' quotes.
