Other side of the coin

According to Gretchen Rubin “what we do every day matters more than what we do once in a while.”

Until today I’ve read this as meaning that we should work on our happiness by doing happiness-producing things every day. This is true, but there is another truth in there: If we do a thing once in while that is not conducive to happiness, it does not matter much and there is little to worry about.
