Absolutely . You know , the challenge I think for most of us is that we think of happiness as something that we need to achieve or accomplish or acquire . But my experience , my life experience and the education I've taken has sort of let me know and taught me that happiness isn't what you seek .
What's one simple thing they can do or think or whatever to help address that ? Struggle with happiness . You know , a simple message to humanity .
That happiness is what you think , that it's a attitude that it's a mental state . But as you continue along your happiness journey , you often discover that the thought that used to make you so happy when you're 20 makes you miserable at 50 or 60 or 70 or even with the most positive thinking , you still experience moments of deep anxiety or stress or overwhelm and you can't simply positive think your way out of the unhappiness or the stress of the overwhelm or the dysphoria or the depression . And so you come around , you know , eventually to discovering that happiness isn't what you do .
It's what you essentially are . So , happiness is a lot easier than I think a lot of us make it out to be . Um And so part of the challenge and the opportunity with happiness is to learn to let go and to relax a little bit .
I'm , I'm very intrigued . Happiness is what you don't think . Happiness is not a state of mind .
