When we're depressed, we might spend a lot of time thinking about it. We might ruminate on our flaws, analyse our mistakes, try to figure out what is wrong with us.

Then, when we're happy, we don't necessarily think about those things. We might even be afraid to ask why we're happy - because sometimes becoming analytical in those moments can cause an end to that precious joy.

However, if we ask with a little gentleness and presence, we can start to find some answers for ourselves. Gently, softly, we discover the keys to our own happiness.
