Um , you know , and I wanted to make people's lives better . Um , I just didn't know that this purpose of mine was hidden within this really painful problem that I was experiencing called unhappiness . Yeah .
I discovered that made me happy . Um , but it's interesting how things unfolded in terms of becoming a happiness coach really , from just a decision that I was going to be happy no matter what . Yeah .
I thought that would happen . Maybe I'd make some friends and eventually I just grow out of this unhappiness . But actually , I just became more and more depressed .
And so , you know , that 15 minutes began to sort of bleed into several days and several weeks . And now it's been a few decades , but really the entire point and purpose of sharing that is that I was really deeply unhappy and I had just made a commitment that I was going to be happy and live as happily and bliss as humanly possible or not live at all . And it was always a very selfish motivation from the very beginning .
Please tell me , well , I have to say that most of my life , I've learned things the hard way Claire . So I'm the least likely person probably in the world to be a happiness coach because I struggle with happiness for so long . I mean , I feel like I was born an extraordinarily unhappy kid .
