About This Quote

The secret of happiness that you have been looking for:If you are moving in the direction of your identified desires, you're happy in this moment.If you're moving in opposition to your identified desires, you are unhappy in this moment. This quote is an interesting idea. The first half of the quote shows that if you are moving in the right direction, you will be happy. But what does it mean to be moving in the right direction? If you are pursuing something that is good for yourself and others, then that’s great.

If you are pursuing something that is bad for yourself and others, then that’s bad. You can tell if you are moving in the right direction because of how it feels. It’s like when you go on vacation and leave everything behind, but don’t forget the sunscreen! You look back at all the things you left behind and feel happy because they weren’t part of your goals or goals for others.

The second half of the quote says if you are moving against your identified desires (specifically desires), then you will be unhappy. This means if someone is being selfish or being selfishly selfish, they are being unhappy.
