A beautiful life is a succession of beautiful days.

Hello, friends! Thank you for joining me for this new episode of Walk with Johan. And today, as usual, on this Wednesday evening, I invite you to meditate with me on a subject of personal development.

Before that, let me invite you to go take a look at the first link in the description. It's the academy, the Authentic French Academy , which is currently closed. So the link in the description will take you to the presentation page, but you can't join us. I just invite you, precisely, while you have time, before the next registrations, to discover all the content of the academy. It's our number 1 project. We have 12 people working on it and who are here to help you and to make things easier for you. You have a lot of content, Zoom meetings with our tutors, etc.

And really, it's worth checking out even if you can't join us right now and even if you're not interested. Just check out the link, check out the academy, join the waiting list, it doesn't cost you anything. The next registrations open on October 1st. So it'll be a pleasure to meet you there in person. Thanks for that.

So today, we're going to talk about having a good life, because it's something that we all seek to have, we seek to have a good life. We have big projects, we have big goals, really switzerland whatsapp number data very dense things, we think long term, we really think about what's going to happen in the next few years. And often, we put off our happiness until later. By doing that, by focusing too much on the future and by focusing too much on big goals in the long term, well we forget to live today.

Actually, there are two problems. The first is that we tell ourselves that we need big changes to be happy. We tell ourselves: "If I want to be happy, a small change is not going to help me. It has to be something big." That's the first problem.

The second problem is that we end up saying to ourselves: "I will have a good life but in the future", as if happiness in the present, happiness currently, happiness now, right away, was impossible.

There is one thing I have read in several books that has helped me enormously, it is to realize that a good life is neither more nor less than a succession of good years, therefore a succession of good months, therefore a succession of good weeks, therefore, yes, you understood it, a succession of good days. A good life is nothing other than a succession of good days.

So you see, when we understand that, we say to ourselves: "OK. To have a good life, I don't need to project myself several years into the future, I don't need to wait for a huge improvement, a huge change in the future. I just need to focus on having several good days in a row, that's all."

And so we can apply the kaizen spirit to personal development. I talked about the kaizen spirit in my course "7 rules for speaking French without blocking", which I invite you to watch again if you've already seen it. I had a 2014 version online, and now we've made a 2023 version that's much more professional, much more pleasant to watch, with editing, with my family involved. So if you liked my free course, go watch it again, really. You have a link that will be in the description: www.francaisauthentique.com/cours-gratuit . Really go watch this course again.
