The Definition of Happiness
- So, I've been thinking about this being happy thing, and I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness like a destination.
- Like how do you mean?
- Well, we're always thinking like one day we'll be happy, when we get that job or that car, or that person in our life that will fix everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition, it's not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry, it comes and goes and that's okay. And I feel like if people thoght of it that way, we would find happiness more often.
- So you think it's okay to be a little miserable every now and then, even when you have great things in your life?
- Is it okay to be a little hungry now and then?
- Hapiness is a mood, not a destination. I like that.
