The Common Misconception Around Happiness #shorts #Happiness #MoreThanAnEmotion #StateOfBeing

The first thing that most people mistake is happiness. Misconstrue it as an emotion versus a state. And they say, well, happiness can't be lasting. Why worry about happiness? Happiness comes and goes. Yes, happiness comes and goes. Life has suffering. We will make moments when we feel pain, anxiety, fear, resentment, anger. Just like we'll experience happiness, peace, joy, love. But what we are talking about, when we talk about happiness is not an emotion, but a fundamental state, an inner state of being. You see, no matter what's happening out there, we can meet it from a state of joyfulness, from a state of surrender and acceptance. Nothing changes outside, but it gives us more space from which to create better solutions, to find a way forward.
