Steve Jobs was once invited to speak at a graduation in Stanford University. On the occasion, he recited one of his most famous phrases, which is "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life". In addition, he shared important reflections on what it takes to be happy.
For Jobs, it would be necessary to ask three very simple questions to be able to know what in fact we could do to be happy. That's because these questions would bring within themselves the ability to make us reflect on who we are and also on our desires. But after all, what questions were those?
Am I living the life I want?
The first question seeks to reflect on the level of satisfaction you have with your own life. After all, the first step in seeking a better life is precisely to recognize what is not right. So, reflect if you are living life as you want and if you do the work you would like, because you have to decide to live as you want.
If today were my last day of life, would I be satisfied with doing what I'm about to do today?
On the occasion, Jobs shared his experience with the discovery of pancreatic cancer, which led him to think more about his life. Upon discovering the diagnosis, he asked himself if his routine satisfied him and that he would be happy if he died in that state.

I do what I love?
Finally, we must realize that life will only make sense when we do what we love and that gives perspective to our existence. In this sense, it is necessary to know what we really love and what it takes to live on what we love. Once you know the answers to these questions, you'll know what you need to be happy.
