  • I often talk about kind of these not so great feelings as the kind of dashboard on your car or like your tire light,

  • your engine light comes on.

  • And you know, is your engine light coming on bad?

  • You know, it's just information, but it's kind of a pain in the butt.

  • There's something you have to do at that point.

  • You got to take the car in.

  • But if you don't take the car and if you don't listen to that information,

  • then, you know, your car is going to die on the highway.

  • And I like this analogy for a couple of reasons.

  • One is like,

  • it gets to this point that you're making about the neutrality of different kinds of emotions.

  • It also tells us something about what we need to do.

  • with negative emotions, which is like, you don't necessarily have to deal with it immediately.

  • Like if the engine like goes on,

  • you'd have to like immediately pull off the next exit of the highway,

  • but you got to schedule some time to kind of work on it.

  • I just want my kid to be happy.

  • Why isn't my kid happier?

  • How do I make sure my kid becomes a happy adult?

  • The topic of happiness is honestly one of my favorite topics to talk about.
