Now, to me, this is a truth so simple a seven-year-old child could understand it. But I’ve met people who are doctors and all sorts of other things, and they never understood it. Never understood it. They just took it for granted that problems exist in the world. Problems exist—by “problem,” I mean something that upsets you, okay? I’ll repeat that.

Yet another belief: Happiness will come if you manage to change the situation you are in and the people around you. Not true.

The first thing you will need to do is get in touch with all the negative feelings that you’re not even aware of.
