Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘If you want to be happy, you mustn’t fear the following truths but confront them head-on: one, that we are always unhappy, and that our sadness, suffering and fear have good reasons for existing. Two, that there is no real way to separate these feelings completely from ourselves.’
Which is why you shouldn’t torture yourself with questions like, Why can’t I be happy with what I have?
What I’m saying is, don’t compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to your past self.
