It usually wasn't until later that I realized how valuable the experience was for me. And that the temporary sadness and pain have contributed significantly to my ability to be content with myself and to enjoy life. Maybe not now, and maybe not ten years from now, but someday it will be of value to me. This is your choice. You can avoid half of the experience that life offers you by avoiding the message of your emotions.
Sadness is a state of happiness.
And so are all the rest of our emotions part of our ability to be content and satisfied. Monica A. Frank, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist Behavioral Consultants, P.C. 13230 Tesson Ferry Rd. All rights reserved.
