PMP #198: Macro Happiness

<p>Over the holidays I was listening to an episode of Simon Sinek’s podcast, A Bit of Optimism. And <a href="https://simonsinek.com/discover/episode-23-happying-with-derren-brown/"><u><strong>in an interview with Derren Brown</strong></u></a>, Derren gets you to think about happiness as a verb, something you do, rather than as a noun, something you have.</p> <p>And as I was listening I had one of those moments where the penny dropped and I suddenly realised, of course, you can’t be happy all the time. And yet, as we go through life, we’re lead to believe that if you’re not happy, something must be wrong. We’re taught that happiness is something we need to find and hang on to for as long as possible.</p> <p>But this is completely unrealistic… You can’t be happy all the time and to think otherwise is setting yourself up for failure.</p> <p>Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » <a href="https://paulminors.com/198">https://paulminors.com/198</a></p> <p>If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.</p> <p>Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott &amp; Brendo</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/paulminors/message
