About this episode
If you’ve been working all your life for the eventual payout of happiness, your moment has arrived — because you cannot be happy in the future. It's time to accept that the future is not in your control, but that happiness can exist only in the eternal now. Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture. To sign up, visit onecommune.com.
