Ever had the feeling of being so happy, you felt like bursting like a bubble.

Fast forward, 5 seconds, and the happiness is gone. The mind is filled with thoughts of bad things happening. You are now scared.

Why?

These are the thoughts which run through your mind:

• Am I so bad, I can’t feel happy?

• Why can’t I be happy?

• Why am I like this?

The cost of happiness is 10x sadness.

You are now scared of being happy.

Let me tell you a secret: 99% feel the same way.

Only 1% know how to get out of it.

It’s simple.

Mentally shout “I am grateful” when these bad thoughts occur.

It is hard. It will be hard. Keep at it.

Master your mind before it murders you.
