Happiness... impossible or inevitable

[Patrick]

Found a couple relevant parts of sessions to this discussion while reading today.

...just as one would not, in a suddenly non-functioning motor vehicle, state to oneself, “I am a dead car,” do not take the identity of the tool upon your self with the acceptance in the manner of, “I am discouraged.” Rather, experience the sensation with the awareness of, “I sense discouragement within my self,” and make use of this powerful tool to further your striving.

Good analogy! A car analogy too! The best ones!  

It seems silly to me now to think: "I am sad".  

Thanks Hatonn for dumbing it down for us.
