The Pursuit of Happiness makes you unhappy
I pursued happiness like an addict pursues their next hit. I tried everything to try and be happy, but no matter what I tried, it didn’t make happy.
In fact, the opposite happened, it made me miserable.
I was pursuing happiness for the sake of it, there was no meaning behind my pursuit. I just wanted to be happy, but you can’t be happy simply by chasing it.
I think the best way to describe happiness is from this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt.
"Happiness is not a goal... It's a by-product of a weak or lived life."

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
