In order to be happy you need three things: something to do, something to love and something to hope for."
I read this in the comic strip called "Pickles" and it struck me as worth noting and saving.
"Something to do" can be either work or play: your job, volunteer work, a hobby, exercise, recreation, socializing, anything that involves "doing."
"Something to love" can be either something or someone: a passion for drawing or gardening or baking or binge-watching your favorite show: a cat or a dog or a bird; your spouse or child or BFF, anything that involves loving.
"Something to hope for" can be many, many different things: a new job or promotion, moving to a new city or country, your next vacation, a child or grandchild, getting married or getting divorced, learning a new skill, the results of the next election, even world peace, anything that involves looking forward to the future.
Considering each of the three ingredients in this recipe for happiness, I think the last one I'd the most important!
