NOTE

Default State of Happiness

The default state of individuals is peacefulness and happiness, which gets obscured over time by layers of external influences. Children have a natural ability to read people's energy and assess safety because they haven't built these layers. To reclaim this default state, one must peel away the layers that no longer serve them, such as relationships, jobs, or habits that do not bring joy. True happiness is not found but revealed by removing what no longer contributes to joy.
