Happiness vs Peace - a podcast by Jessica Sun

Why does everyone want happiness? How do we achieve such a fleeting feeling? Let’s look at some reasons why we actually don’t want to feel happy all the time, an alternative to seeking happiness, and what we can do to feel better. Also, why feeling bad is useful.

Quotes to remember: 

“The only thing a sense of peace is dependent on is you.”

“The way to feel peace is through practicing gratitude.” 

Takeaways:

• Happiness is a feeling and all feelings are fleeting
• True happiness, or contentment/peace, is not determined by anything but you
• We don’t allow ourselves peace for many reasons
• Can you be happy regardless of the situation? 
• Accepting something is not the same as doing nothing about it
• It is our responsibility to feel grateful and at peace

What you’ll learn:

• Why nothing “makes you” happy
• What your desire to feel happy is an indicator of—the utility of feelings
• How to use the feeling of happiness to assess the big picture

CHALLENGE: Find 2 things to be grateful for in a situation in your life that you view negatively.
