About This Quote

It turns out the mark of a happy life isn’t staying just one step ahead of death. It depends on whether you are brave enough to face your fears, strong enough to overcome them. For some, happiness comes from being able to savor every single moment without worrying about what might come next. Others find peace in not caring about themselves and their future, not having to worry about the things they cannot control.
