No one’s ever really hunted down happiness. It just happens, you know? It’s like fate handing you a gift. You can’t dig it up, pump it up, or find it with a magnifying glass. Money can’t buy it, and you can’t pull it out of a hat like some magic trick. The more you chase it, the quicker it slips away. It’s a bit like trying to catch the end of a rainbow.
Happiness always sneaks up from behind. It sticks around the longest for those who focus on making others happy. Just lend a hand, give a shoutout to someone awesome, lift the spirits of a downhearted coworker, entertain a kid – forget your own worries for a bit. Before you know it, Happiness, that tricky character, will quietly wrap her arms around you.
