A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:
“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.”
Imagine that at your workplace there was an employee of the month, a black employee of the month, a Latino employee of the month, and an Asian employee of the month... I think that makes more sense now.
