#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  You mistakenly think happiness is something that you have to work for. Deep down inside, you are happy already. You allow yourself to become unhappy by allowing unhappy thoughts to arise. Think about it. When you wake up in the morning, are you unhappy? You wake up, you're not unhappy. And what happened? You said, "I want a cup of coffee. I am hungry." You allow unhappy thoughts to creep in your life. Notice that.
