Why Shouldn’t You Chase Happiness?
Happiness can be a dangerous life goal that sets you up for a life of frustrations.
It’s impossible to be happy all the time as happiness is just an emotion that comes and goes in life.
It’s a mental state that’s relative to your expectations and in reality, people do not always get what they expect to get.
You will never feel fulfilled when you are in constant quest for happiness.
Who do you think is happier between the two?
A. The guy whose net worth is 100 million dollars but loses 80 million B. The guy whose net worth is 0 but wins 10 million in the lottery
The point is, you will get used to the initial feeling of being happy and you will start looking for a higher level of happiness.
Being Unhappy About Not Being Happy
If happiness is your life goal, you may be frustrated right now and maybe even unhappy—about not being happy.
What Should You Focus on Instead of Happiness?
Focus on living a fullfilling life—a life where your goal is to experience every aspect of life as much as you can—with both its ups and downs, instead of just hoping for
and focusing on all the good stuff.
