everything is cyclical
Is there a happiness mantra or motto that you’ve found very helpful?
There’s a story about a king who challenges his wise men to bring him something that, when he’s sad it will make him happy, and when he’s happy it will make him sad. They spend months on the project, and return to him with a small ring engraved with the saying, “This too, shall pass.” It’s a great reminder that everything is cyclical.
