Happiness comes from reframing challenges as gifts and believing life happens for you, not to you. Pain becomes strength when you change its meaning. Your brain defaults to threat-scanning, so you have to deliberately choose to seek beauty and goodness instead.
It's our job to find the way to perceive life where we see the gift instead of seeing the problem. If you don't look for it, you're not going to find it. If you've ever been in pain and then 5, 10 years later you're no longer in pain, it's because you changed the meaning. You went, okay, I don't like that happened, but man, it made me so much stronger. Man, it made me care so much more. Man, I mean, I really see the wisdom of this. So if you could operate that I'm not— life is not happening to me, It's always happening for me, but it's my job to find it. Then you'll live in a beautiful state. But you have to make a decision to live this way because your old conditioning is the opposite. Because the brain of everyone in this room has been trained for survival. And our job really is to decide, I'm going to live in a beautiful state. Now, to be in a beautiful state, you got to look for the beauty. You got to look for the good. You got to be conscious about it because your, your subconscious mind is a survival mechanism and it's always looking for what could go wrong and how to protect you. So you're going to survive, but if you want to be happy, that's your job.
