Happiness is something we make happen.

It seems that moments of happiness equivalent to what we might call the most beautiful moments in life do not occur when we passively wait for us to be better and others to change for our sake.

The moments after which we long with so much desire occur only when our body and mind are used and sometimes pushed to the limit, in a committed and conscious effort to achieve something difficult and valuable to the same extent.

Self-knowledge is not easy at all, even if the process itself is simple.

Living a conscious life is not possible without a deliberate exercise.

Nor does the cultivation of emotional and relational intelligence take place overnight or in daydreaming episodes.

Happiness is something we make happen.

And it is the duty of each individual to engage in this process of happiness.
