Show Notes

We have choices that are presented to us throughout our lives. “Doors” that appear in the form of opportunities and pathways. If one decides not to go through a door or take a certain pathway, what are the consequences? How could one ever know? Would one have been happier if a certain door was chosen?

Ah. Elusive happiness. We can’t find it when looking for it. But it pops up throughout our lives, unexpectedly, IF we can conceive of it! And yet, there are “A thousand inconceivable petty worldlinesses” that prevent us from realizing our own happiness. Enjoy!
