How to Discover Hope in Anything

The happy feelings you get = like a roller coaster:

1. One day/week, you're on top of the world.
2. The next day/week, you're down like a downtown-downer-of-the-DOWN.
3. Then, BAM, you're on top of the world again.

The Happy Cycle

You'll get the happy-sad-happy-sad-happy-sad-happy feelings cycle all-the-frickin-time for the rest of your ridiculous sweeeeeeeeeeeeet life because your mind makes everything relative:

• You're sad because you just experienced something so great, so you're comparing the great experience to your not-that-great current experience.
• THEN BAM: You're happy again, because you're experiencing the happier feelings relative to the sadder experience you just had.

If you're feeling sad/depressed/downtown-downer, know this:

• You'll feel on top of the world again.
• Guaranteed.

Wait for it.
