Gabor Maté’s TorStar’s piece on why happiness is so elusive resonated with me….particularly this quote from Fromm: “Certain drives, such as the need for harmony, relatedness and purpose seem inherent in human nature. Those needs met, happiness is more likely to follow.”
As did Siegel’s quote on qualified happiness: “Living with meaning, connection, and equanimity; and a grateful, joyful, and playful heart.”
In 2025, I must work on being more equanimous.
Happy New Year!
