Short YouTube monologue (creator: Nate Tilley) advising three immediate changes to increase happiness: stop regretting the past (learn from it but don’t ruminate), stop worrying about the future (speaker cites that 85% of daily worries never happen), and stop seeking happiness from other people — concluding that "Happiness is 100% an inside job."
85%
There's basically three things that you should stop doing immediately if you want to be happier. Number one, you have to stop regretting the past. There's nothing you can do about it. Don't forget the past. You can learn from it and get better from it, so you don't make the same mistakes. But you got to stop regretting the past. Number two is stop worrying about the future. Psychologists have found that 85% of what you worry about on a daily basis will never happen. That's a waste of your energy. That's a waste of your time. And number three, stop looking for your happiness in other people. Other people cannot make you happy. It is absolutely impossible. Happiness is 100% an inside job.
