RUNNING A MARATHON IS HAPPIER THAN TAKING A VACATION

Why? the answer is very simple... running a marathon gives long term happiness while taking a vacation will only give you short term happiness that will only last for a few hours. Running a marathon will give you a sense of achievement, you will feel very good after finishing it because not only you will feel healthy... your body will feel very good, you will forget your problems, your mind will be decluttered from negative thoughts, you will feel younger, happier and more energetic.

If you will take a vacation... you will become very tired after it.. the travelling period sucks, the traffic, the expenses etc. You will only become happy for a short time but after it... you will go back being stressed again.

That is what will happen if you will prioritize having a good time first and trying to escape your problems. Most people are just taking a vacation just to escape problems, they think that they will forget their problems just like that, the truth is... your problems will only become bigger if you are not facing it.

You need to work in order to solve your problems, you need to face the pain. It is easier to feel good if you will work for it, just like in marathon... you will run, you will make your body tired, you will sweat but after that you will really feel good, you will feel rejuvenated energized and restarted. Unlike in taking a vacation... you will spend money which will give you worries in the end, sometimes you won't even like the place, you will become tired after it. The conclusion is... you are stressed even more. I am not saying that it's not good to have some vacation, I am just stating some facts that are true. Most people fooling themselves, they thought that taking a vacation is the only thin that will make them happy but the truth is... moving and becoming active will give you more happiness.
