Trying to be constantly happy and positive can actually backfire, making you feel worse, not better.

• Always chasing more, better, and different sends the message that who you are right now isn't good enough.
• Wanting a positive experience is itself a negative experience, since it means being unhappy with your current moment.
• Real growth often comes from accepting hard truths about yourself, not from forcing constant positivity.
• The people who feel most at peace often care deeply about a few things, and stop caring about the rest.
