Key Takeaways:
Happiness is fluid and not a permanent state – It’s important to recognize that happiness levels fluctuate, and the goal is to consistently maintain above-average happiness.
Engaging fully in life is being intentional in living your life. It is about how you spend your time, identifying things that make you happy and doing them more often.
You are responsible for who has access to you. If your current social environment is toxic, it's essential to reevaluate and choose people who uplift you.
