\"no<\/p>\n

According to Aristotle – the answer should be\u00a0NO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite philosopher buddy Aristotle says true happiness comes from gaining insight and growing into your best possible self. Otherwise all you’re having is immediate gratification\u00a0pleasure – which is fleeting and doesnt grow you as a person.<\/p>\n

In a way\u00a0the above scenario is a description of someone who does crack or drinks\u00a0into\u00a0oblivion.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time it feels like you’re avoiding pain and seeking bliss – but\u00a0in longterm you’re NOT really enjoying real life — with life’s\u00a0inevitable ebbs and flows which give you needed insights and exciting experiences which grow you and let you know more about who you\u00a0are and what you love and who you truly love!<\/span><\/p>\n

Aristotle has a wonderful quote related to this topic:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live\u00a0in deeds, not years; in thoughts not breaths; in feelings, not in\u00a0figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives\u00a0who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Translation<\/strong>: I think what Aristotle was saying is that life has ebbs and flows. There\u2019s no such thing as endless flow. Unfortunately life can sometimes feel like ebb, ebb, ebb, brief-flash-of-flow, more ebb, ebb, ebb. But every ebb always offers the opportunity to think a new thought flavor and feel a new emotion flavor. The more varied the flavors of life you get to taste, the more interesting, layered, educated, self-developed, world-experienced and mightier You will be!<\/span><\/p>\n

I write about this topic in more detail in my new book\u00a0PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A TIP FROM PRINCE HARMING SYNDROME FOR DEALING WITH LIFE’S INEVITABLE EBBS:<\/strong> You must remind yourself how it\u2019s always your choice. You can be miserable. Or you can motivate yourself to stretch your mind\u2014and seek out better interpretations for your love disappointments – and even love break ups!<\/p>\n
