About This Quote

If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you. - Lao Tzu The idea is that we need to be careful about the pursuit of happiness for ourselves and we must avoid chasing it.

Instead, we should let happiness "chase us." We should be content with what we have and allow our lives to unfold as they will. Happiness naturally finds its way to those who are content with who they are and what they have.
