Happiness In The Midst Of Adversity Part II

Last week I released a podcast called Happiness In The Midst Of Adversity. We got a lot of very positive feedback from it. However, there were some more clarifying questions that I answered in today's Part 2. In order to achieve happiness, you must first accept the world as it is. This can be difficult to do because we are all conditioned to think that the world should be a certain way. We want things to go our way and when they don't, we become unhappy. The world is never going to be the way you want it to be. The world is always changing, and so are you. You can't control everything, but you can control your response to it. You may feel like you can't just accept the world as it is and achieve happiness at the same time. When there is so much adversity in the world, how can we be happy? In today's podcast, I answer an important question about this from one of my students.
