Moments of happiness

Things change and emotions change over time. 

The way you feel moment to moment cannot be consistent. People cannot be happy consistently all the time. No one can give you a consistent state of happiness. 

You can have moments of happiness. 

You wouldn't even appreciate it if you didn't have moments where you weren't happy because you wouldn't have that contradiction, you wouldn't have a point of comparison in which to recognize that you had the other state which is happiness. 

You'll need the opposite to know what happiness is.

We're so adept at taking other people's inventory and looking outward instead of inward.

Rethink happiness.

(adapt from Dr. Darcy's talk)
