Hello my love,

Happiness is not required (for a satisfying life). In fact, happiness as a requirement is just another standard to fall short of. As standards go, we are usually falling short, which sucks. So I propose, if only for this week, as a fun kind of experiment, tossing standards out the window.

Now when happiness finds you (and it will), it will be of a whole new variety. Sourced from wonder, delight and appreciation.

Cause that’s what’s there when we toss all the other crap out the window.

Don’t believe me, try it for yourself.

Life is supposed to be fun. Let’s play some fun games.

P.S. If the word appreciation kinda makes you wanna vomit with the thought of all those new agey weirdos being all nice and shit, that’s cool. Check out this Ted Talk.
