Leonardo recently experienced a job loss, a significant life event that temporarily impacted his happiness. However, by focusing on his intentional actions, such as seeking support from loved ones and pursuing new opportunities, he was able to regain his sense of well-being — and during his time of reflection, his attitude to see joy in this joblessness made him realize he had a dream. He buried himself in the joy of his dream and became an inventor of a product that earned him more than he would have dreamt about.
