Something that's intuitive to me, but that doesn't appear to be intuitive to others is: when we (as individuals) are happy and enjoying life a lot, then we tend to cause others around us to be happy and to enjoy life too.

It appears to me that others tend to see personal happiness and joy as selfish, but it's the opposite! Joy and equanimity and happiness are just as infectious as anxiety and worry and depression.

You deserve to be happy. You deserve newborn love. You deserve unthinkable quantities of equanimity, comfort, and rapture—whenever you want it.

Both for yourself, and for those around you!
