An easy example is dissatisfaction with our physical appearance. Being sick and tired of not fitting into your jeans, may provide the motivation to cut the carbs and increase the miles. After a few successful weeks, you are bound to be happy with the results. And, most likely, happier overall. A “climate of dissatisfaction” is how Walt Disney described what sparked his ambition to build Walt Disney Land in Anaheim, California in 1953.While sitting on a bench watching his daughters play at a local carnival, Walt decided he wanted to create a magical place for children and their parents. He said “I want to have a place that's as clean as anything could ever be, and all the people in it are first-class citizens, and treated like guests.”. There are plenty of examples of people finding happiness after finally deciding they have had enough and decide to take a risk or make a change. The college freshman study concluded that people who “are rarely dissatisfied with their jobs, feel less pressure to get more education or change careers".
Being satisfied is not the same as being happy and it may take a little “un-happiness” to find lasting happiness. Need a little happiness boost? Take a quick trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth” and remember Walt’s path to happiness.
