What if we didn't need a reason to be happy? What if we stopped looking for all these reasons that we thought were going to make us happy and instead focused on moving toward a worthy ideal and the larger impact that could make in the world? That’s what we’re discussing in this podcast episode. Tune in and uncover a limitless well of peace, joy, and happiness within yourself.
We discuss,
- The topic of happiness was sparked by the realization that children can experience happiness without needing a specific reason.
- Our human tendency is to look externally for reasons to be happy, which can lead to unhappiness when those external conditions are not met.
- The importance of pursuing a worthy ideal, which involves personal growth, authenticity, and service to others.
- Spontaneous happiness can arise naturally when you are aligned with your path and free from attachments and preferences.
- The importance of managing your internal world in building a worthy ideal for yourself by focusing on qualities such as confidence, presence, connection, and personal fulfillment rather than external achievements or approval.
Powerful quotes:

- "Happiness is just kind of a byproduct of working towards a worthy ideal."
- "It is a shedding of layers, stepping out and going, 'Oh, okay, I did that. I didn't die. It's okay.'"
- "Imagine a life or a version of you where life seems to flow through you, rather than happening to you."
- "Focus on the right things and connect with those that you love the most."
- "I'm happy in everything I just said had nothing to do with money, body type, or external validation."
