Summary
Like how David sculptured "Michelangelo" out of marble and created his masterpiece And how the "Winged Victory of Samothrace" is a masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture even though part of her body is missing. We can sculpt a happy and peaceful life for ourselves through effort.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. When it comes to living a happy |
| 0:09.2 | fulfilled life I think there are a lot of people out there that think that happiness is something we're kind of born with or some people are just luckier than others. |
| 0:19.0 | Happiness isn't something that you work at, It's more something that some people just get. |
| 0:25.1 | They're the lucky ones and other people just don't get it. They're unlucky. |
| 0:30.4 | Do you know the statue by Michelangelo in Florence? |
| 0:34.0 | You may have never seen it in person, but it is a beautiful sculpture. |
| 0:39.0 | Perhaps one of the most beautiful sculptures ever created throughout history. As I'm sure you can |

| 1:50.1 | It took effort. |
| 1:51.6 | It took sculpturing them into something beautiful. |
| 1:56.5 | And I don't mean physically beautiful. |
| 1:58.7 | I mean beautiful at the happiness level where their hearts are filled with joy, |
| 2:05.0 | where they find peace and serenity in the daily moments, |
| 2:09.0 | regardless of what's happening to them, |
| 2:11.0 | they find beauty in life. And I think what we discover with |
