☀️ Stoic Morning Minute: Stop Chasing Happiness

💭 Modern Translation

The more desperately you chase happiness, the faster it runs away. It's like trying to fall asleep by thinking really hard about sleeping - doesn't work. Happiness isn't something you hunt down; it's what shows up naturally when you're focused on something meaningful.

⚡️ Your Move

Next time you catch yourself thinking "I'll be happy when..." stop and flip the script. Instead of chasing future happiness, identify one meaningful activity you can fully engage with today. The happiness will take care of itself when you're too busy doing something that matters to worry about being happy.

Let happiness find you,

Jon
