About This Quote
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under his feet. For centuries, people have been told that happiness is achieved by finding it in the future. They are told to plan for the future, work for it, and dream of it. But true happiness lies not in planning for it or working for it, but rather in growing content with what you have now.
