HACKING HAPPINESSand what I think about it

I’M TAK

I’M A DIRECTOR

@

THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE DONE

I WORK WITH STARTUPSwhich means I don’t sleep much

THERE IS ONE WAY TO HACK HAPPINESS…

HAVE A KID

REASONS1. they’re fun = happiness

2. they require time = structured break

AND WHEN THEY SMILE, IT’S TRULY HAPPINESS

BUT ACTUALLY THE THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT

HOW TO BE HAPPYand repositioned my entire perspective in life

WAS IN THE MILITARY

SO THE THINGS I’VE LEARNED ARE THESE

1. IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE

2. TOMORROW IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BETTER

DAY

3. THINK IN THE PRESENT

4. DISCIPLINE YOUR THINKING

“Watch your thoughts for they become words.Watch your words for they become actions.Watch your actions for they become habits.

Watch your habits for they become your character.And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.

What we think, we become.”

5. REMIND THYSELF OF THESE VALUES

THIS APPROACH DOESN’T WORK FOR EVERYONE

but if it’s good enough for the Army, it’s good enough for me

IN SUMMARY1. it could always be worse

2. tomorrow is an opportunity for a better day

3. think in the present

4. discipline your thinking

5. remind thyself of these values
