Hello to you in Osasco, Brazil!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey.

I’ve discovered the secret to happiness! It’s not actually here on Whidbey; I just happened to discover it here.

Previously, no matter who told me I was determined to touch fire to see if it was hot. No matter how much my intuition said, “When in doubt, don’t!” I did. Over time I learned that fire is hot and my intuition is to be respected. How did I arrive at happiness?

Nasrudin was asked: What’s the secret to happiness? He replied, good judgment. Yes, well how do we get good judgment? He replied, experience. That’s well and good but how do we get experience? Ah, says Nasrudin, that would be bad judgment.

Ah ha! What if all my mistakes have been leading me right to the secret of happiness?

Question: How have you discovered the secret to your happiness?
