The Real Reason We Can’t Be Happy All The Time
I know. We all want to be happy.
Do we all want to be happy? I am not 100% sure any more. Are you?
At 31 years old and with “extreme fatigue”, I just want a nice couch and a big TV. Where I can lay my legs comfortably and watch TV while I am typing words on my computer.
For me, this is happiness at this moment. And I am sure that happiness meant something else for me a couple of years ago, or even months ago.

We were all sold lots of lies.
One of them is that we need to be happy all the time and that happiness means one thing for everyone. Happiness was for years and still is for many everything.
But, I am here to tell you that we don’t need to be happy all the time, and that’s impossible. And also, happiness can mean lots of different things, and it can change all the time.
The real reason we can’t be happy all the time is because of The Feelings Wheel. We have 7 different big feelings: Happy, Sad, Disgusted, Angry, Surprised, Bad and Fearful.
