Expectation is the source of all misery
SOHH you *think* it should be like 'this', but it's actully like 'that'
Now you're livid. Cause it wasn't like 'this'
Your idea of what 'it' should be like is built on numerous layers of mental conditioning going all the way back to your very first moment of awareness.
Those first 3 years dictate your whole personality, but you don't remember any of it.
Start to look at your expectation of the outcome as the musings of a child. Which is what they literally are.

Shed the weight of all the sadness bulit up from past 'losses' 'fails'
Imagine yourself covered in soil. Moss. Roots. Other debris. You rise from the mound you're buried in. You've been laying there for decades like a 600 pounder. Just feeding and growing moss.
Then you stand. Loose clunps of dirt fall away. You start staggering yourself forward. As you move the debris is disturbed and starts to crumble away.
You gain speed. You're a mound of garbage
*MENTALLY... THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR SHEDDING YOUR MENTAL SLUDGE*
As you lose the outer layer of crud you can fast walk and then do a lumbering jog.
The next part is fast. You pick up speed and start ripping the crust off as you speed up. You tear it all off and get into an unstoppable gait.
Then your soul bursts free from the physical shell and flies away.
Happiness is kinda like that. Run as fast as you can away from the negativity sludge. As you get better and better at moving in the positive direction you suddenly become totally free and fly away from the negative. At light speed.
