| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I don't know about you, but I love vacations. They can be so enjoyable and relaxing and just good. But the one thing I like to do on vacations besides exploring and relaxing and reading and all those other good things is I like to watch people. I find people very |
| 0:24.7 | fascinating and I think if you two were to really watch people when you're on |
| 0:29.4 | vacation you'll find that yes there are moments of joy and happiness but there's a lot of grumpiness |
| 0:35.8 | there going on too where people just aren't that happy. |
| 0:39.7 | I was recently in Panama and while I was there I stayed at a resort on the ocean for a few days and I do |
| 0:47.0 | I honestly believe that some of the happiest people that were at the resort were the people |
| 0:50.9 | working there a lot of the people on vacation just didn't seem that happy. |
| 0:56.4 | You may or may not agree with me, but it's a simple test to do. Next time you're on vacation, |
| 1:01.3 | just look around, watch people, and do they really seem better in a better place more relaxed just more jovial happy or do they seem themselves? |
| 1:10.8 | I mean you may not know them so you may not know their precondition, but people seem like people wherever they're at and a grumpy person sitting watching a sunset in Hawaii can be just as grumpy on his couch when he's home. |
| 1:24.0 | It isn't that situations necessarily improve our situation. |
| 1:28.6 | They can make us a little bit better for a moment, |
| 1:31.6 | but so can having a glass of wine or taking a shot of heroin. |
| 1:35.2 | It can for a moment too, but that doesn't mean that we're happy. I know this may |
| 1:40.9 | may not make sense, but the bottom line is wherever we go, we are there. |
| 1:47.4 | We take ourselves with us, including our feelings, our thoughts, everything, and no matter where we're at, it can still be a very good or |
| 1:57.0 | bad day because we bring ourselves to these places. |
| 2:01.2 | These places don't create feelings in us, or they may for a minute bring a |
| 2:05.0 | thrill like going on an amusement park ride might bring a thrill but once we |
| 2:09.6 | get up the ride we come back to who we are, and we remember all the thoughts, all the feelings that |
| 2:16.2 | run through us, and they permeate our world. |
| 2:20.0 | Because happiness is an inside job. |
