It was a very hard lesson to learn, but thinking that you know what will make you happy is completely false. When you finally get it, you usually find out it did not make you happy.
You cannot find happiness. You cannot earn happiness. Happiness comes when you accept your reality.
Being happy is accepting your life. I am not saying you cannot want to improve your life, but the constant pursuit of ‘the next thing’ will never allow you to be happy with the present.
True happiness is finding contentment in what you have. The drive for more keeps so many from being able to enjoy the truly hard to replicate things in their lives. The things that actually make us happy. Our loved ones. Our art. Our work.
