About This Quote
When we place artificial demands on ourselves that undermine our happiness, we are essentially forcing ourselves to work harder and harder to cross a finish line that keeps moving. In other words, we make our own unhappiness. These demands we place on ourselves are artificial because we do not truly want them. We want to be happy, but it is hard for us to be happy when we demand that we be happy in order to be happy.
