About This Quote

When we think of happiness, we often think of the things that make us happy. We might imagine a beautiful home, a nice car, and lots of money. But we can’t get those things unless we work for them. There’s no free lunch.

Let’s say you want a house with a pool and a gym. You have to work for that house and pay the mortgage and taxes and the electric bill. That’s not free.

If you want to be happy when someone else takes care of your needs, you can’t be happy when you don’t get what you want. If you want sunshine, you have to make a choice to go out in it.
