We don’t want more happiness, or better weather. What we desire is greater challenges

Greater social challenges, greater challenges in the gym with powerlifting, attempting new personal records.

After having lived in perfect weather and a perfect climate, and after living in Providence Rhode Island, in places with variable weather, I have discovered that in fact, weather is overrated. When the weather is not good, just bundle up. Like the Swedes say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

Perhaps the same thing is in life. You create your own happiness by creating your own new challenges. And what it comes down to is whether the challenge is actually interesting to you or not.
