I've been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's good to follow the path of personal happiness to some extent. People tend to get upset however when you drive a steamroller down it.
I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.
If you have not taken the time to define what happiness means to you, what have your spent your whole life pursuing?
I have found that the only thing that does bring you happiness is doing something good for somebody who is incapable of doing it for themselves.
When you analyze happiness, it turns out that the way you spend your time is extremely important.
Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.
Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you got.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.
The drive for happiness is vital; it's what keeps us in motion.
