About This Quote

Happiness can be achieved by making the right choices, not just the ones that are convenient. Happiness is often dependent on our perception of what we want to feel. We want to be happy because we think happiness will make us feel better. But, if the emotional state that comes with happiness isn’t acceptable or realistic, then it’s just an escape.

Happiness isn’t meant to be something that is taken lightly and quickly forgotten by the next day. It’s something that should be savored and enjoyed every single day.
