' No hot water '...

Your happiness is never to be found in the flow of life. The flow of life is only ever outcomes, either pleasurable or painful.

If you're in a shower and suddenly the hot water stops working, that's pain in the moment (relative to your biological preference for hot water).

If a friend lets you down, that is pain in the moment. And if a friend excels that's pleasure in the moment, either pleasurable or painful relative to your biological preferences.

Your happiness is never to be found in pleasure or pain. It is the deeply ingrained false belief that it is - that we are defined by outcomes - which flowers into suffering so often during the day when the flow of life does what it does - deliver outcomes - sometimes pleasurable, sometimes painful.

Even in the face of pleasure and pain, I Am, I exist.

Peace for now
