We are simulating our happiness (or unhappiness). At every moment we have the power to synthesis feeling fantastic. It’s so easy to feed into society’s programmed view of what happiness is. It’s not natural happiness even though we think it is. It’s filled with comparisons and ‘what ifs’. It’s filled with fear. Dan Gilbert has an excellent video called, “Why are we happy? Why aren’t we happy?” In the video Dan states the following, “Which would you rather, win the lottery or become paraplegic? Which future would make you happier? -Neither! After one year both are equally happy.” Watch the video, it’s excellent. A definite reminder that we create our lives. We choose to be happy or unhappy. It has very little to do with what’s happening outside of ourselves.
