In this podcast, I talk about the illusion of happiness. I believe that happiness is a universal desire. Deep down, we all want to be happy. Unfortunately, in today’s world, genuine happiness is a rare commodity. People who have bought into the illusion of happiness use things like money, relationships, friends, their body, etc., as vehicles to achieve certain ‘positive’ emotional states.
The more you 'go after' happiness, the more fleeting it becomes. Materialistic things won’t buy you happiness. If you are constantly chasing the idea of happiness, you will live a life of pain and disappointment. Instead of focusing on the external rewards of life, focus on your internal state.
Happiness is a choice. There are people in this world that have nothing, and still, they choose to be happy and joyful. Similarly, there are people who have all the money in the world, but they aren’t fulfilled. Whatever the circumstances are in our lives, we always have the power to choose how we feel.
In the words of A.R. Lucas, “If there’s even a slight chance at getting something that will make you happy, risk it. Life’s too short, and happiness is too rare.” Are you ready to drop the illusion of happiness and live from a place of joy, gratitude, and fulfillment?
