Sri ChinmoyYou must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does
About This Quote
This quote is a great reminder that happiness depends on us. It is not something outside of ourselves that can make us happy. There is no such thing as a formula for happiness. Happiness is a state of mind where we feel good about ourselves and our interactions with others.
We do not have to keep chasing after happiness, but we must learn to recognize the things that make us happy and then work on developing those into habits that will bring us peace of mind. For example, when I was in college, I used to go out every night. However, one day I came home from school and realized that each night I had been celebrating the fact that I was getting good grades instead of doing the work I needed to do for my classes.
Then something happened to me, and it just didn’t feel right. The next morning, I knew what I had to do.
