Our baseline pleasure and happiness is much more about the story we tell ourselves as opposed to how we're feeling in the moment.
And the stories that we tell ourselves about our lives have much more variation, the same event can be viewed in completely different lenses by different people.

And we have much more control over what story we tell ourselves, which gives us much more ability to determine our baseline pleasure.

And the lead indicator to becoming better is learning to view our setbacks and challenges we've had as stepping stones and learning opportunities for our future.
