Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling estates worth millions. Why is that? You'll find contentment when your talents and passion are completely engaged, in full force. Recognise instant self-gratification for what it is. Resist the temptation to grab for material objects like the perfect house, the coolest clothes or the hottest car. The if I just had X, I would be happy syndrome is a mass delusion. When you look for happiness in mere objects, they are never enough. Look around. Look within. Nick Vujicic
About This Quote

Don't look for happiness in material objects or meaningless things. What is the point in owning a million dollar house if you are unhappy? Money cannot buy happiness because money cannot buy love. In fact, nothing can bring you happiness if you do not have love. Morality is a great thing in life and you can use your morals to help others but it won't bring happiness. If you want to be happy in life, find a way in which you can give back to others in a meaningful way.
