John Ruskin wrote, "If you are not happy with your life, you can change it in two ways: change the conditions in which you live or (I say, and.) change your inner spiritual state. The first you cannot always change, but the second one you can."
Happiness is a direction, NOT a destination. You will never possess anything that will make you happy. Happiness is a state, a condition that you put yourself in.
Aligning with happiness is not as difficult or overwhelming as you may think.
