A 2011 study published by the the Journal of Consumer Research found that those who set themselves up for higher goals tend to be more satisfied with their lives than those who keep lower expectations.
Progress on our goals makes us feel happier and more satisfied with life. I agree.
And it makes sense. Having something to work toward - and then ultimately achieving it - can help boost our feelings of personal worth. As Carleton University psychology professor Timothy Pychyl explained in a 2008 Psychology Today essay, pursuing our passions just makes us feel good.
And what else.
According to a DePauw University study, adults who fashioned big grins in their school photos were actually less likely to be unhappily divorced decades later.
The explanation with the most support, is that people who smile in their photographs have a more positive disposition and more extensive social network. When life throws us inevitable curveballs, those with a positive emotional disposition and strong social support tend to thrive.
Yes, I did not smile at the school photos. I went to one Nazis' school.
Rest of the world, so perhaps you who read this, you do not though can conceive of the ways in which Finland was the only democracy in the world, which did it from free will, was the Nazis partner - But our society freezing lasted for a long time after World War II.
