Sometimes happiness consists of finding the right balance of misery.

About This Quote

This quote is a reminder to always seek happiness. Sometimes happiness consists of finding the right balance of misery. The misery in this case is not necessarily a negative emotion, but a state of being. In other words, happiness can be achieved from a combination of positive and negative emotions. When we are constantly happy, we often forget how good it feels to feel down or sad for a moment.
