About This Quote
The face of a truly happy man seldom lacks smiles. In the realm of self-improvement, the highest good is not happiness, but contentment. This is a tricky concept to understand. Contentment can come from a sense of personal achievement, but it is more powerful when it's a simple feeling of being at peace with yourself and your circumstances. It's not that having a positive outlook on life fills all the empty places in our hearts with cotton candy and champagne. It's that the lack of these things doesn't mean we're not happy enough or that we don't feel content.
We find contentment in all the same places we would if we had more; in our career, in our relationships, in our hobbies, in our life purpose and purpose in general. There isn't one single thing that makes us happy in this world. Achieving something in life might bring happiness for a short while, but if we're not working towards something greater we'll soon be left with emptiness and bitterness. If you're unhappy with your life, don't worry about it too much. There's always something you can change or do better.
Don't forget to put down your phone and interact with people instead of hiding away online all day. When you feel stuck or trapped, ask yourself what you can do to escape this situation for good instead of just trying out new things every day hoping they'll work out. The face of a truly happy man seldom lacks smiles." - William Shakespeare
