A 72 year old study began all the way back in 1937 when 268 Harvard University sophomores were asked to participate in a study measuring “a formula-some mix of love, work, and adaptation-for a good life.” This study continues to be diligently maintained to this very day.
Number one: Have a Healthy Outlet
If one didn’t have a healthy outlet for their fears, nerves, and struggles, it was only a matter of time before repressed demons erupted to the surface. Develop an outlet…find a sport, commit to helping others, lighten up, and laugh more often.
Number two: Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
One can only carry the burden of a big ego and lots of pride for so long before your proverbial knees will buckle.
Number three: Happiness Must be Shared
Those who spent too much alone time ultimately struggled. One can never give enough hugs, say enough "I love you's," and send enough "I miss you's."
