Why Chasing Happiness Makes You Miserable

The Problem With Chasing Happiness

– The more you chase it, the more it slips away. – You tie happiness to future events (“I’ll be happy when…”) and miss the present. – It creates pressure, making you feel like you’re failing if you’re not happy all the time.

What Actually Makes People Happy?

Studies show that lasting happiness comes from: – Meaningful relationships – A sense of purpose – Enjoying small, everyday moments

Shift Your Focus To Fulfillment

Instead of chasing happiness, focus on: – Growth over comfort – Purpose over pleasure – Gratitude over comparison

Find Joy In The Process

Happiness isn’t a destination—it’s in the journey. – Learn to enjoy progress, even when it's slow. – Celebrate small wins. – Be present in this moment.

Redefine What Happiness Means To You

Happiness isn’t about constant joy. It’s about: – Feeling content even in ordinary moments. – Embracing ups and downs instead of fearing them. – Finding meaning in the little things.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Instead of asking, “How can I be happy?” ask: “How can I live a meaningful life?” “What small joys can I appreciate today?”
