Why We Need To Stop Chasing Happiness

Chase the butterflies, they fly away. Build a beautiful garden, they fly towards you.

Spot on…chasing happiness often misses the deeper path. Audrey Crews @NeuraNova9 found hers after 20+ years paralyzed: as Neuralink’s first female recipient, she’s now creating art with thoughts alone. True resilience + mindset mastery. 
Would be epic on Modern Wisdom exploring human potential unlocked.

And I was thinking happiness is a state like success where you have keep at it because its your responsibility.

@ChrisWillx the work that never stops... @jockowillink

You chase happiness. Chase contribution. Find happiness.

Happiness will never come to someone who is chasing it.. By definition it becomes something external of them.. 'Be'ing happy is a much better approach

I think pride is the best emotion to chase.

Happiness is a feeling and emotions fade. It’s about fulfilment. Doin go something that fulfills you is a struggle that includes feelings of happiness, frustration, fear, anxiety, joy and at the end of it all one must be content with the outcome of that endeavour

Awareness hurts because it kills the illusion of comfort.

I guess it's a byproduct of the things we do.. ?

Want to maximize happiness? Find out how far you can fall, and survive.

Wonderful insight. It lines up beautifully with the Buddhist teaching that craving is what keeps us from peace. Letting go of the chase and simply meeting the moment as it is might bring more genuine joy.

Life is found in the hard work. Fulfillment is found in those spaces between happiness.

You know this core kernal we're adopting? Pursuit of Happiness is Pursuit of Flourishing by Pursuit of Virtue, by Pursuit of Truth. @C_bumstead
