MY NEW BOOK: www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6XPPNJY
In this video, we explore how happiness as an ultimate goal in life is often inconsistent with our behaviors and desires. In many ways, it seems we have a mirage created inside ourselves that often appears in the form of a pool of happinessābut we seem to want to just continue to chase it.

Traditionally, we have been taught since the beginning of time that being happy is the ultimate goal. But rather, the goal is to achieve a state of life where happiness, sorrow, joy, grief, comfort, misery all come together, simultaneously, to paint a bigger picture that thrives on both the highs and the lows... A picture where shadows are admired as much as highlights.

āBabe wake up, new pursuit of wonder video droppedā

Turning your life into a piece of art is a great way to never feel like yourself, ever. The fact that the story of your life could be considered a beautiful piece of art should only emerge from the authencity of the way you lived it, and not from your efforts trying to turn it into one.

Sadness like joy can become a source of pleasure. And because of how easy it is to access misery, it can become addictive

Those who don't learn to be sad, will eventually unlearn to be happy.
Embrace your depressive thoughts and give them air every now and then so that they don't break free by themselves and bite you.

"Tell them, I've had a wonderful life."
This echoes into the distance.

This has been something Iāve wondered for months. This video is making me cry because of the relief that others know what Iām going through.

Maybe I'm a dark person, but i find so much beauty in this level of melancholy. I want to feel sadness, i want to feel sorrow. It's a teacher, and a looking glass into what it really means to feel joy.
I'm not addicted to sadness, It is in fact the opposite. I seek out joy. At my core i am a happy person, this is why i make myself feel deeply, only to remind myself that happiness is earned. Happiness is a perspective and such i seek to remind myself of what i have.

I know this is about to be a bangerā¦ Iāve always wondered why I was addicted to the feeling of being sad and miserable all the time. I already know this video is gonna help me understand

Over the years I have observed why some sad or depressed people refuse to overcome their situation despite being helped. Its like they start getting a little too comfortable in that smol sad bubble of theirs. And i dont blame them. Even I have felt the same way . " sadness and grief ,after a period of time become addicting"

I wish I could be happy all the time. I suffered with depression and bipolar my whole life.

43 seconds into the video and I've started wondering how the hell can someone write something so dark with such poetic ease. You never fail to surprise me.

The greater the sadness, the greater the desire for happiness. Sadness, in this sense, is an essential function of hunger and desire for happiness. Sadness, then, should not be denied nor be shaken off when we experience them, but should be accepted and appreciated as a natural process of life that comes for an essential purpose: to initiate and drive us to make changes, to push us to pursue happiness and meaning, to remind us that we need to do better, to give as a sense of dissatisfaction to make us aware of what matters in our life. All the sadness and happiness we experience are the necessary puzzle pieces that complete the picture of the life we will look back on someday and say, "I have lived a wonderful life."

I keep hearing the phrase, "Stress kills." However, I know for a fact that stress does NOT kill...it's not knowing how to deal with stress which kills. Having strees, but knowing how to deal with it actually makes you live longer. It's those people whom WORRY about what's stressing them whom die early.
That's, basically, what this whole video is about. People are SEEKING different ways to bring some sort of stress onto themselves; because, a life without stress is a boring life. When people feel bored, they attempt to bring sadness, difficulty and/or misery into their lives; all in an attempt to conquer it. Those whom can NOT conquer their stress end up dying early and unexpectedly. However, those whom DO conquer their stress are the ones whom are able to say, "Tell them I've had a wonderful life."
FUN NOT: There's a reason why there are so many "drama queens" in this world. Because, there are SO MANY people these days living a life which is too good, or too easy. So, they make trouble for themselves or others in a way to bring forth stress as a form of entertainment. Stress CAN be a good thing; but, bringing it on yourself or others just for fun can easily be a terrible thing.

We put too many requirements to be happy, you have to have more money to be happy, if only I have a better job I would be happy, if only this and that, if you are not happy right now, you wouldn't happy either in the future, for me, just start the day with a coffee and breathe the fresh air in the morning is enough to make me happy

As a university student studying Sociology, they are right. A society cannot function without the sense of dissatisfaction and struggle. It's how we evolve as human beings. It's how we become stronger.

Well, It's often been said that without sadness and suffering we could never appreciate happiness and joy. If everything was good all the time we wouldn't appreciate it. It is because of great sadness and pain that we truly appreciate when things get better and savor every moment, because things wont stay better. We will feel much more pain and sadness again and maybe that's what it means to be alive to be human. We'd have no real desire to better ourselves without sadness, pain, trials and tribulation, failure and loneliness. Those are the things that drive us to do better, To better ourselves physically and mentally, to be productive and keep trying when we fail, We can't truly appreciate one without the other.

How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself. So always think positively.

To be happy, is to understand that not all days will be good. Some will be bad, some even terrible, but those bad and terrible days come together to make up what would be an amazing or close to perfect day. Without the sadness and dissatisfaction, there is no happiness and satisfaction. How would we as people be able to perceive joy or sorrow if without the other. I believe that in some sense, the thing, the idea that makes us the most happy, is the fact that we can experience happiness, sadness, depression, anxiety, joy, love, hate, etc and still be able to live on despite how uncomfortable some of those emotions or even ideas of make us. The true bliss we experience doesnāt derive from perfection at all. It derives from the idea that one day sadness can be all that I feel, and the next could be overwhelmingly happy.
