Rather than asking what will make me happy, ask what is certain to make me miserable?

I have some ideas.

• Sleeping less than 8.5 hours / night
• Filling my day with meaningless appointments
• Being dishonest with myself
• Having fewer than four or five face-to-face social engagements / week with people who are close to me
• Lack of time for exercise
• Lack of time for learning and reading and reflecting
• Lack of resources to leave town when I'm restless
• Associating with untrustworthy, shallow, resentful, or angry people
• Losing the money I've earned due to overconfidence or panic
• Not honoring my inner voice
