lady philosophy says that the existence of imperfection implies a proportion of perfection— meaning perfection is real. Perishable happiness is imperfect, implying that perfect happiness exists.
God (in the neoplatonic sense) is the source of perfect happiness (and perfect good). She makes sure to tell Boethius to avoid the misconception that God was given these characteristics. He’s just like that.

Lady Philosophy tells Boethius that although what is happening to him is unfortunate, he has been very fortunate up until this point. In the story, Fortune has been looking out for him his entire life. She reminds him “there is no constancy in human affairs.” And “if you are really so moved by the empty name of chance happiness, you can reckon up with me now the number of very great blessings you enjoy.”
