The Invisible Habit that Makes Happy People Miserable
Let’s play a game.
I’ll tell you about the life of someone named John. John constantly feels like something is missing from his life, but he does not know what it is. If you can identify the tiny little habit that keeps him miserable, you win.
Every morning, John wakes up to the following view:
He likes to catch up on the news first thing in the morning. It’s his one hour of undisputed peace time, and he enjoys every moment of it.
After finishing his coffee, John sets out on his usual morning run.
He does this every morning. Running helps John clear his head before the day, and it’s also been the perfect payment for all the hours spent watching Netflix. He’d never trade his morning run for anything.
The run is followed by a cold shower, which John found to be just as satisfying as the blog articles make it out to be. Sometimes, morning routines just work!
At this point, John realizes he has 30 minutes to work. He gets on his bike and rushes off.
