Happiness is a mood, not a destination

These were such good lines. I wanted to preserve them somewhere..

Happiness is a mood, not a destination.

Julian: People get lost when they think of happiness as a destination.

Brooke: How do you mean?

Julian: We're always thinking that someday we'll be happy, you know, we'll get that car, or that job, or that person in our lives that will "fix" everything. But happiness is a mood, and it's a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired, or hungry... it's not permanent. It comes and goes, and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often.

Brooke: So you think it's okay to be a little miserable, every now and then ... even when you have great things in your life?

Julian: Is it okay to be a little hungry now and then?

Brooke: Happiness is a mood, not a destination. I like that.
