Summary

This quote highlights the importance of recognizing that isolated incidents or fleeting moments of success or happiness are not indicative of one's overall well-being or fulfillment in life. It emphasizes the need for consistency and sustained effort in order to experience true blessings and happiness.

Instead, it emphasizes that long-term dedication and perseverance are key in attaining genuine and lasting joy.
