If given the choice for unconditional happiness, right now, would you say no? I’m talking about flipping a switch which turns your world instantly into a funfair of pure unadulterated happiness. Yes, please!

Except, happiness is temporary. Even when it is pure and unconditional, there is a condition which is it cannot last forever. Fulfilment, on the other hand, is a state of well-being which breeds and nurtures happiness and content.

The key then is to strive for fulfilment over happiness. Forgo the instant gratification -happiness- and chase after fulfilling deeds, activities, practices and thoughts. In this way, you will generate more sustainable happiness.
