In this episode, Cheddy and Michelle discuss:
- How we assign the responsibility for our happiness to things outside of us.
- We have more control over our emotions than we realize, acknowledge, or admit.
- Consumerism relies on us believing the “I’ll be happy when…” lie.
Key takeaways:
- Michelle explains how Dr. Seuss’ book The Sneetches illustrates the “I’ll be happy when…” lie and how it can playout in our lives.
- The, “I’ll be happy when…” lie, keeps us dissatisfied and always looking for the thing that will make us happy..
- Oftentimes the thing we thought would make us happy only provides a feeling of happiness for a short period of time.
- We are responsible for our happiness, regardless of the circumstances.
- We are meaning-making machines.
“I am responsible for my own happiness!” - Michelle Wickman
