The state of joy or fulfillment we operate in bears little resemblance to external conditions we think affect us. It is an internal state that we have cultivated.
I also really like "don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose". That's a consequential statement. Many have learned that one after it's too late.
Well said Tom. When put that way it is perhaps THE question of our time. So glad this spoke to you. It is one of my own personal reflection questions as well. 🙏🏻
Great comments and for the record book I like the puppy ;) seems like a friend of ours does not appreciate what pics of even the mundane are valued when added the content of a philosopher as you did David! Peace and keep it fun and real!

Very thought-provoking. I love the binary question: "Would you rather be right or happy?"
Could spend a good while thinking about that one.
Seems particularly relevant in these times when so many seem immovably entrenched in arguing for what they believe is right.

I thought it was funny that he mentioned puppies today. 🤣
Exactly... ;)
