Study finds passion and self-regulation as 2 pillars of a happy life. Here's how to master them

Hindustan Times  

Happiness is an elusive emotion that falls short in determining the checklist. For long-term happiness, develop passion that speaks to your soul and self-regulation for satisfaction, rather than external validation. Happy people tackle less pleasant activities with personal choice and a sense of responsibility. In contrast, the sense of autonomy and free will happy people demonstrate when coping with less enjoyable activities makes all the difference. The happiest individuals don't just have a passion for everything; instead, they focus their passion on activities they find enjoyable and handle less enjoyable tasks with a sense of personal choice and responsibility.
