Sex, drugs and rock and roll!

If you let go of your ego and your wants/desires you will attain happiness...at least that is how I understand it; but I want a mocha latte every morning and that makes me happy, so...

@Joanne Yes. I read that but don’t understand how it works. It’s alright in theory but doesn’t sound practical.

@Killtheskyfairy as I understand it, I never found happiness through these steps. But I learned to minimize the feeling of pain from loss. Kinda like Elsa (from frozen) says, "let it go!", or old sage wisdom, "accept the things you cannot change", because to me, everything outside of yourself, is also outside your control. So feelings are controlled within, by thoughts, and recognizing the motives for those thoughts can be liberating. Possibly finding happiness :/

@Killtheskyfairy I agree, it isn't practical as we can never let go of our ego, wants and desires; and, personally, I don't want to. I just don't want to be consumed by them.
