The secret to happiness is not to get what you want, but to want what you already have. If you think about it, most discontent grows from want. We want more stuff, more excitement, more pleasure. When we don’t get those things, we’re resentful and unsatisfied. Take away the want, and you take away the unhappiness. When your quality of life is tied to your desires, fulfillment is a shadow that escapes your view. Does this mean you stop setting goals and striving to improve yourself and your life? No. It means you can appreciate life regardless of the outcome. It means you can relish the pursuit of goals while accepting the possibility of failure. It means you can still enjoy the ride. Happiness is not a destination – it’s a way of life.
