If you pursue happiness you never find it.

Summary

This quote suggests that actively chasing after happiness may lead one to ultimately never attain it. It implies that happiness is not something that can be directly pursued or actively sought after, but rather it is a byproduct of other meaningful pursuits and experiences in life. Thus, the more one focuses solely on the pursuit of happiness, the more elusive it may become.
