  I think the difference between weather and climate might be a useful analogy. It can still rain in a place with a sunny climate because the climate is not what the weather does on any one day, because climate in the pattern of weather over an extended period. <br><br>Happiness is not just pleasure in the moment, but the long term preponderance of pleasure over pain.

  Ooh! This video gave me a great idea for a lovely before bed habit to build with my kids. When we&apos;re laying down for bed I&apos;m going to ask them, &quot;What are three things that made us happy today, or that we&apos;re happy we have?&quot; And &quot;What are three things you hope will happen tomorrow?&quot; My first isn&apos;t quite to talking yet, but I might as well start the habit now, and he can increase his participation in that as he grows. :)

  &quot;When you ask someone for a favor, they feel more positively towards you&quot; makes all the sense in the world to me, as it shows trust in the person being asked, that person can feel helpful and important for the person that asked you.<br><br>I want to think I&apos;m someone that will do anything in my capacity to help others in need, especially those closest to me, no matter the circumstance and I feel quite guilty when I&apos;m not able to do what is being asked of me, or I can&apos;t do as much as I&apos;d want.<br><br>As I was typing this, a friend called me because he&apos;s writing a report of his practice to get his Lawyer title, in a panic.<br>I mainly just listened to him vent, and I hope he&apos;s feeling better. I know I do.

  I&apos;m all on board with this. The most miserable, abusive, fragile, people I&apos;ve known are those who don&apos;t live according to these principles and values. <br>Choose happy. 😊

  You mentioned this at the end - that we have everything we need within us to be happy, but I also hear from many other sources that we need connection with other humans to be happy. This always throws me off and it’s something I struggle with 😅<br><br>Great video!

  I think a lot of it comes down to choice. You have to choose to be happy. You have to choose to not be a victim because sometimes, we really are the architect of our own misfortunes. Taking accountability and choosing happiness changed my life.
