Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness is not achieved by constantly seeking happiness as the ultimate goal in life. Instead, it argues that happiness can be found when individuals do not make their primary focus on pursuing personal happiness, but rather engage in fulfilling meaningful actions, purposes, or relationships. By prioritizing and investing themselves in something beyond their own happiness, individuals might experience a deeper sense of contentment and meaning in their lives.
