In this episode of the Success Fundamentals Podcast, Kris Sykes and Brian Goldsack take us through an illuminating conversation about whether or not it is truly possible to achieve a state of perpetual happiness. For our hosts, to be in such a state does not mean being unaffected by things that cause us pain or sadness, but to have the ability to process those emotions in a healthy and balanced way.
HIGHLIGHTS
- A perpetual state of happiness comes with experience
- Joyfulness is not necessarily equal to happiness
- A lesson in ice cream and seagulls
- Don't dwell on the things you can't change
- You have to forgive to achieve happiness
- You need to know hurt to appreciate what it means to be happy
QUOTES
Brian: "I think being a happy person means having a firm grip of reality and being able to process the things that are unfolding before you, I don't want to say in a right way, but in a balanced way."
Brian: "What if justice isn't served? Do you go on your whole life carrying grudges? Do you go on your whole life being bitter? Or do you have to perhaps sacrifice that in some way, maybe apologize? Or if it wasn't your fault, maybe forgive?"
Kris: "You have to allow yourself to be angry, you have to allow yourself to be sad. But those are just pockets of emotion. Happiness is an overall state. So if you know yourself and understand that it's okay to react, it's okay to mess up, but I know how to get back to my base. And then at that point, you can reach that level of perpetual happiness."
