About This Quote
Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them. The uncomfortable can be a powerful motivator. When you choose to be aware of your mental afflictions, you make a choice to overcome your problems and take control of your life. That takes effort and time, but it’s worth it. In fact, the idea that people can be happy without ever being ruled by their mental afflictions is absurd.
