A short course in happiness.
There are 3 traits of the brain that in overdrive can get you drained:
- You feel the pain of others pain as your own
- Brain feels imaginary as real. Imaginary fears cause real damage.
- Brian can’t tell physical pain from emotional hurt
To find inner contentment and plentitude, cultivate deeper gratitude and compassion. Also, help others feel safe and cherished.
Brains that feel safe and worthy become happy brains. Happy brains, when they get busy with meaningful, creative, and altruistic activities, become VERY happy.
Bottom line: the pursuit of gratitude and compassion will make you happier than the pursuit of happiness.
