A person who needs to be happy will never be happy. A person who needs to be at peace will never be at peace.
@naval desire traps us in a cycle of absence rather than fulfillment. Happiness and peace aren’t material possessions to be acquired. They only emerge when we clear space, setting our egos aside to simply be.
@naval it's not important what's going on to you, how you react to it - that's important 🙃
@naval I don't want to be happy...so hopefully I will be happy 😁
@naval If happiness is the absence of personal problems, peace is happiness in the presence of them
@naval A person who needs coffee will never have enough coffee.
@naval Happiness is not an absolute and it does not exist without its opposite. Hence seeking 'happiness' always comes with some tradeoff, and the best one is having kids. That is true happiness.
@naval Dreams of perpetual states only to awaken disappointed.
@naval You don't need to be happy. You don't need to be peaceful. Simply be. Your soul knows the truth.
