Sitting around, knowing you’re entitled to the pursuit of happiness isn’t going to do much for you.
But understand that there is a real happiness that comes from pursuit.
When your eyes and mind are fixed on a goal and you’re problem solving, critically thinking, collaborating, exploring, trial-and-error-ing, iterating, building, growing…
You unlock a type of whole being happiness… one that isn’t in vain like a temporary pleasure… but one that activates almost every part of you—mind, body, spirit—and renews itself again and again and again…
Just don’t get so caught up in pursuit that you never give yourself any time to feel the happiness that’s present at each step along the way.
