Love the contextual jumping. very well done. The kids next door jump on theirs to simply enjoy it. Very wise.

I always hear people saying "you have to be your own happiness before you commit to a relationship with someone who makes you happy." And that hasn't happened yet, I feel like I have been working for years on my own happiness and resilience and self esteem, and haven't made a dent, so I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be happy, or happy enough to be in a relationship. And I'm ok with that. Happiness is overrated. ❤️

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of happiness as anything but a state.
I really don’t think I’ve ever been under the illusion that there’s something I could do that would result in me being happy forever and it’s kind of baffling to me that anyone even could think that. The points they make in this video don’t seem counterintuitive to me, they seem obvious. And they also don’t seem comforting. I think I subscribe to the philosophy of the guy at the end, that the happiest life possible is one where you fill your time doing things that both challenge and enrich you but I don’t think that most people are lucky enough to be born into circumstances where they will ever find those things for them.
I think that like he says earlier in the video everyone has a baseline happiness and changes in your circumstances can momentarily effect your emotional state but eventually you’ll always go back to that baseline level and you’re either born predisposed to happiness or destined to work harder than the people who are for a fraction of the emotional reward. You could say that the suffering makes you appreciate the moments of beauty more, but that’s not a trade off I’d have willingly made if it was up to me

Even though I carry an enormous amount of grief, I can honestly say I’m happy at this point in my life.

My man between ending a 16 year marriage and approaching 40 i have been in an incredibly dark place recently that I am struggling to crawl out of. Its really fucking slow but I never expected that one of the best tools for fighting it would be a stickman with a smokers voice spouting philosophy at me. Ive been watching a lot of your content recently and just wanted to say from a random middle aged guy you'll prob never meet, thank you

Another way of interpreting this is to focus on enjoying the challenge of the present endeavor because thats the root of all meaning out of which arises subjective well-being and hedonistic ecstasy we label as happiness. In other words real happiness is challenging ourselves to achieve a flow state.
