Catalyst
Happiness and sadness are not opposites—they coexist, giving one another meaning.
Insight
The reason happiness feels so profound is because you’ve experienced its absence. Difficult moments, while challenging, help to define and deepen your appreciation for joy when it arrives. Struggles give you perspective and remind you not to take happiness for granted.
Happiness wouldn’t feel as sweet without moments of contrast. Instead of wishing for a life without ups and downs, embrace the understanding that your challenges shape the richness of your positive moments. The contrast is what makes joy shine so brightly when it finds its way to you.
Reflection
What is a challenging time in your life that made later moments of happiness feel even more precious? How can that memory help you now?
