On that search for happiness we did nothing with all those other emotions that made us human.

About This Quote

Many people believe that happiness is a result of doing nothing. They believe that if they work hard at their job, go to the gym, and spend time alone with their friends, they’ll eventually find happiness. That’s not true. Happiness is a result of our emotions.

In other words, it stems from how we feel about ourselves and others. Some people make themselves unhappy because they don’t give themselves enough credit for who they are. They think that success or money or power is what makes them happy.

But really, it’s the love and respect of others that makes them truly happy.
