What’s the “recipe” for more happiness or inner harmony

I often think the “recipe” for happiness or inner harmony is actually relatively simple. 

Be clear on our values, and create a life that is congruent with those.

It’s simple, but it’s definitely not easy. Nothing worthwhile is ever really easy is it?

When we are able to live a life that is congruent with our values, we will find more happiness, inner peace and harmony.

When our life is moving away from our values, we will find unhappiness and a lot of inner conflict.

The problem is, many of us don’t really know what our values are.

So what are our values?

Make a list of all the things we really love, and together with all the things that we really hate. Underlying those, are our values, if we look close enough.
