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
