So, I’ve been thinking about this whole being happy thing, and I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination.
Like, how do you mean?
We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often.
So you think it's okay to be a little miserable every now and then? Even when you have great things in your life?
Is it okay to be a little hungry now and then?
Happiness is a mood, not a destination. I like that.
