Happiness is life's most cherished goal. ... When parents are asked, "What do you most want for your children?" the answer is "happiness." Happiness is the goal that makes other life goals—like success, prosperity and relationships—feel meaningful and enjoyable. It's official—the pursuit of happiness has sped up!
A lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anything. If you think money will buy you happiness, you will go shopping for the rest of your life and never be completely satisfied. Money can't buy you happiness, because happiness is not an "it." To enjoy some free happiness, make a list of everything in your life that costs no money and is totally priceless, like laughter, friendship, meditation, air, kindness and the stars at night.
