Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

Summary

This quote suggests that happiness is elusive when actively pursued, similar to how a cat resists being called or coaxed. Instead, it implies that when one focuses on their own endeavors and lives their life freely, happiness naturally gravitates towards them, just like a cat would approach someone engrossed in their own business. It highlights the idea that happiness often comes when we least expect it and when we are not obsessively searching for it.
