It&rsquo;s an experiment. I&rsquo;m normally in merely a good mood, and I am pushing myself to be great.</p> <hr> <p>This is an unusual entry for a Today I Learned site, even by my standards. But I think it&rsquo;s something I would prefer to pre-register ahead of time.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve always been predisposed to mirth. I laugh easily; I rarely get depressed; I&rsquo;m just about always in a content mood these days, in no small part because I have actually succeeded on the meager goals I set for myself as a teenager (soulmate: check, child: check, sujuvuus vieraalla kielellä: yhä työn alla mutta kyllä se siitä, give me maybe five more years). Yet for some reason I have always felt it is, I don&rsquo;t know, low status to be so effortlessly joyful and opulent. Like people will take you less seriously or something. So I&rsquo;ve been reluctant to push my naturally good mood into the realm of <em>actively loving life</em> as my default state.</p>
