When you're happy, you often find that you don't want anything, which can lead to a lack of motivation to act.

True happiness comes from engaging in activities for their own sake, rather than for external rewards or recognition.

The pursuit of happiness should not be tied to success; instead, focusing on being happy can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Many people sacrifice their happiness in pursuit of success, thinking that once they achieve success, they will finally be happy. However, I've found that the happier I become, the more successful I am, as happiness drives me to engage in activities that align with my strengths.

People often mistakenly believe they need to find their passion to be happy, but engaging in the work that needs to be done can lead to fulfillment.

The happier you are, the more you can sustain doing something, which leads to even greater happiness and productivity.

Pleasure is a sensation that encourages us to pursue more of what brings it, while pain prompts us to withdraw from harmful activities.

Pleasure is difficult to define succinctly; it can be the pursuit of euphoria or a means to escape pain, often leading to addiction.

Extending the positive phase of dopamine release while blunting the pain response can lead to greater happiness and motivation in pursuing long-term goals.
