It can be exciting , but it isn't excitement itself , right ? So the state that I call happiness is something that can even include moments of frustration , of concern , of worry , of upset . There's something underneath all of that that if you can stay tapped into , dialed into , stay aware of allows you to feel a peaceful aliveness and feel that everything is still ok , even though you're riding or experiencing this wave of maybe a little confusion , a frustration of upset .
Every thought , feeling perception and sensation of your life . And so happiness is our true nature . Hm .
You know , the more present you are , the easier it is to be happy , the more distracted you are , it feels impossible to be happy . So another I think synonym for happiness really is presence . And that doesn't only mean being present to the thoughts , feelings , emotions , sensations , experiences and conditions into your life , but also going deeper into that .
Yeah . So happiness can't be explained , can only be experienced and anything you explain isn't quite the experience . But I would say that it's mostly that experience of peaceful aliveness that is always within you but not just within you , that is you .
It's surreal and I'm actually loving doing these because you connect with other people . We're talking about happiness and trying to make other people happy . And how can that be a bad thing ?
