Don’t confuse pleasure for happiness, for they aren’t the same.
Pleasure is bound by the limited abilities of our external senses. Happiness isn’t.
Remember, the endless hedonic treadmill of pleasure-seeking culture is a mirage. The promise of satisfaction that it holds is a false one. It’s only in your imagination.
They are all ephemeral – excitement of next big car, the fancy new gadget, the exotic dream vacation – all of them.
Happiness is in remembering the special memories. Memories created when you got wet in the rain with your giggling daughter, when you fell for your son’s latest mischief, and when you faked a hysterical laugh in your father’s laughter club.
Sooner or later people have realized that it’s not worth it – the pursuit of the ephemeral.
Choose happiness.
