Hey friends!

Scrolling recently, I bumped into a deep question: "What's something you can't prove but believe 100%?"

The first thing that popped into my head was learning how to be happy. It sounds kind of cheesy, and it’s really hard to map out when you're stuck in a gloomy mood. You start thinking, "How is it even possible to train yourself to be happy? Isn't happiness just a reaction to good things happening?"

But I genuinely believe we can train ourselves to notice, create, and appreciate more of it until happiness becomes a default habit. I'm convinced happiness is something we can actively learn.

What about you? Do you believe happiness is a skill we build, or is it mostly out of our hands?
