“On the outside, I married my college sweetheart, I took care of my family, I had a beautiful daughter. On the outside I was blowing all of these happiness bubbles, that should have made me happy. That’s what I thought happiness was.”
“Happiness is not void of what we call negative emotions. It actually is the process of embracing all of our emotions and giving ourselves permission to experience all of our emotions.”
“Suffering is great sandpaper to happiness.”
“We are definitely a culture that has created this idea that happiness is somewhere out there, and if only you do certain things the right way, look a certain way...then you’ll get this prize.”
“Happiness isn’t something you achieve, it’s something you do.”
