How do you know if, say, starting a new business will really make you happier? Here’s how — with the final step in my plan for forecasting your happiness.
You simply ask yourself questions about your level of happiness in the future tense. For example, change the question about, say, companionship. Ask yourself if: “I will be satisfied with the amount of companionship I receive from my spouse or romantic partner if I work most nights and weekends.”
You can do this for all the questions about happiness and contentment that I have compiled on my website. If your level of happiness is higher in the future, then you should make the change. Go ahead and start that new business.
But if your happiness score is lower, you should consider another way of increasing your income. Try another idea — perhaps cutting your expenses. Then go through the exercise again, asking if this action will improve your future contentment.
When your future score is higher than your current happiness level, your plan of action will actually make you happier and more content and satisfied with life.
