Happiness is three things, its enjoyment, satisfaction and purpose. The biggest mistake that people make is they want happiness without purpose. Unhappiness is an experience of life which helps us find our purpose in life. So the first thing we can do to be happier is to make peace with our unhappiness. That's what being alive partly is. And nobody finds the purpose in their life without unhappiness. O i hope people will go there and listen to that conversation and subscribe to your podcast too.
