Spurts of Happiness

 

Happiness is not about making good choices or having success, it’s about being resilient when we mess up.

I think life is extremely difficult, for everyone, and that in order to get through life we have tricks for ourselves to continue the journey and happiness is sort of a trick.

I don’t think there is a lot of happiness in life, there is a lot of hopefulness and interest in how things unfold, and there are spurts of happiness.

Sometimes I think that happiness is maybe not the most important part of a well-lived life. But I’m not sure.
