Summary
"One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats, and if some of these can be inexpensive and quickly procured so much the better."― Iris Murdoch, The Sea, The Sea. The little things in life are indeed where our happiness is nourished. When we look for joy in the here and now, the future hopes, dreams, and fears become quieter, and peace rises in our hearts.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Do you want to know what one of the |
| 0:09.6 | secrets of happiness is? Well I'd like to read a beautiful quote from Irish Murdoch from her book |
| 0:16.2 | The Sea the Sea. She writes, one of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats. |
| 0:25.0 | And if some of these can be inexpensive and quickly procured, so much the better. |
| 0:31.0 | I love this quote. And I really think she does nail one of the importance |
| 0:35.7 | ingredients of a happy life which is enjoying the small things all along the way |
| 0:41.4 | because unfortunately there's a tendency within us to wait until |
| 0:46.8 | happiness comes in the future. How many of us have perhaps heard this or done this in our own lives. When I get into my college, then |
| 0:56.1 | everything will be great. When I get that girl to date me, then it's going to be wonderful. |
| 1:01.3 | When I finish college and get my first job and have my own |
| 1:04.4 | place, oh my goodness life's going to really start then. When I meet my soulmate and |

| 1:26.1 | wonderful. Or when my kids get into college and they head off to school and we now are empty |
| 1:32.1 | nesters and have a lot more free time on our hands. |
| 1:35.0 | Or the epitome of it all, I'm going to work really hard and then when I get older I'm going |
| 1:40.8 | to retire and live happily ever after. Have you ever heard any of those? |
| 1:46.4 | Do you ever contemplate any of those for yourself? I think they're very tempting, but I also |
| 1:51.7 | believe they're the path of suffering. |
| 1:54.6 | They create suffering because we just don't know what the future is going to hold. |
| 1:58.9 | I mean, if we're looking for our soulmate, there's a 50-50 chance that that relationship won't work and will end in divorce. |
