What If Happiness Isn’t a Goal But a Byproduct?
Have you ever found yourself in that endless chase for happiness? You know the feeling — setting goals, ticking off boxes, hoping that the next achievement, the next relationship, or the next milestone will finally bring that elusive sense of joy. But when you get there, the happiness feels fleeting, or worse, strangely absent.
I want to invite you to pause here for a moment. Take a deep breath and really consider this: What if happiness isn’t a prize waiting at the finish line? What if it’s not something you have to run after with all your might? What if, instead, happiness quietly emerges when you stop pushing so hard?
This is not a simplistic “think happy thoughts” message. It’s an invitation to rethink everything you believe about happiness. To notice it not as a distant goal but as something that naturally flows when you live authentically, when you make space for it without forcing.
I want you to lean into this idea and explore it with me. Because the way we pursue happiness can either trap us in a cycle of endless striving or free us to experience life more fully — right now.
