The Pursuit of Happiness Lie

I think the idea of the pursuit of happiness - like all the time happy, happy, happy, - is such a lie. It’s one of those sneaky thoughts, that sounds good but can actually cause so much suffering. Today I want to offer you the idea of emotional balance. My master coach instructor Brooke Castillo says life is 50/50. Meaning, 50% of the time we feel positive, and 50% of the time life is meant to be negative, I almost wish we could take negative and positive out of it - because it’s really more about being willing to feel all feelings. To be a human. Not to label them as right or wrong - just being willing to feel all of them. In this episode, I will use positive and negative for example's sake.
