Most people think happiness comes from comfort, idleness, or luxury, but Nietzsche argues otherwise. True happiness comes from challenge, growth, and overcoming resistance. As humans, we thrive on improving ourselves, reaching new heights, and achieving more challenging goals. Comfort and laziness don’t provide lasting fulfillment; they only offer short-term pleasure. Happiness is a byproduct of continual improvement and growth. So, if you want more happiness in life, focus on becoming stronger in all aspects—physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially—and overcoming resistance every day.
