Happiness is not something that you just go out and find. It is the byproduct of a well-lived life.

Our positive experiences of a life well lived, gives us a better sense of who we are. Then we are more likely to form connections, be a part of social groups, and less likely to be angry about the soup of the day.

Our internal locus of control allows us to live more fulfilling lives as the clock winds down.

Our battles are not unwinnable, or insurmountable, no matter how daunting they may seem. If we let the world make us bitter, we have lost the fight. If we approach our challenges with joy, nothing can stop us.

1. Life (and the world) is a malfunctioning plane, the more pissed we let ourselves become about it, the more likely we are to crash.

2. Happiness is not a consumable product. It is not something you find by searching for it. It is a naturally arising byproduct of a fulfilling, well- lived life.

3. A well-lived life has more to do with perspective than anything else. As long as you can laugh, there is hope.
