Stop chasing happiness and focus on meaningful goals from "summary" of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
Many people believe that the key to living a good life is to be happy. We are bombarded with messages telling us to pursue happiness at all costs. We are told that if we just find the right job, the right partner, the right possessions, we will finally be happy. But the truth is, this constant pursuit of happiness can actually make us more unhappy in the long run.
Happiness is not something that can be chased or caught. It is not a destination that we can arrive at if we just try hard enough. In fact, the more we chase after happiness, the more it seems to elude us. This is because happiness is not the end goal; it is a byproduct of living a meaningful life.
Instead of chasing after happiness, we should focus on pursuing meaningful goals. Meaningful goals are those that align with our values and beliefs, and give our lives purpose and direction. When we focus on these goals, happiness naturally follows. This is because when we are living in alignment with our values, we feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that goes beyond momentary pleasure.
By shifting our focus from happiness to meaningful goals, we can create a more fulfilling and satisfying life. We can stop chasing after something that is always just out of reach, and start living a life that is truly meaningful to us. This is the key to true happiness - not in the pursuit of it, but in the pursuit of something greater.
