I still get annoyed sometimes in my life because, of course, it's inevitable that bumps come along. But it's okay, I'm still happy every day. I achieved this by redefining what success means to me and what brings me happiness.
Anyway, how many times have we chased the idea of happiness in the wrong place?
You're right about what you said, but many people aren't aware of that because their minds are already set on what they believe can bring them happiness, only to realize too late that it's not the case.
But how many wealthy, successful people move the goalpost just a little bit farther once they reach it and think to themselves I'll be happy when...
You're also right that many don't stop even when they reach their goal, what they do is set new goals, so the story of chasing happiness just continues.
BTW, I like your writing style. By that, I mean the way you share your values with others.
