Summary

This quote suggests that happiness cannot be considered as something to own or possess, but rather as a state of mind or a way of thinking. True happiness should not solely depend on material possessions or external circumstances. Instead, it implies that happiness is found within our thoughts and attitudes, reflecting how we perceive and react to the world around us. By understanding that happiness is a quality of thought, we can focus on cultivating a positive mindset and embracing gratitude, allowing us to experience genuine and lasting happiness.
