Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you

Summary

This quote highlights the concept that true happiness is not dependent on material possessions or obtaining everything one desires. Instead, it suggests that finding contentment and gratitude for what one already possesses is the key to being happy. It emphasizes the importance of appreciating life's simple pleasures, cultivating a positive attitude, and finding satisfaction in the present moment, rather than constantly striving for more and constantly wanting for something different. Ultimately, it encourages individuals to shift their perspective and mindset towards embracing what they have and finding joy in it.
