Is It OK To Want Happiness‪?‬ The Inner Peace Now Podcast

    • Health & Fitness

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well.

During recent group Zoom meetings I have been asked if the desire for happiness or the desire to feel good implies resistance against negativity within ourselves.

"If I want to be happy, does that mean I am in resistance to unhappiness?"

I would say not necessarily. Happiness is a natural preference, in the same way that pleasant food is preferred over garbage. Once the fight against unhappiness or negativity starts to come to an end, there gradually becomes more space for us to choose a way to feel, if we want to do such a thing.

I go into more detail in this clip from a recent Zoom call.
