About this Quote

This quote by George Orwell suggests that real happiness can not be achieved by merely striving for it. Instead, it is accomplished when one concentrates on other aspects of life, such as meaningful work, relationships, and personal development. By not making joy the main objective, one can find happiness in the journey and appreciate the little moments of life. This quote encourages us to concentrate on the present and to value the charm of life, rather than continuously striving for something that might never be attained. It likewise recommends that real joy is not a location, however rather a frame of mind that can be attained through living a meaningful life. By comprehending that joy is not the supreme objective, we can find contentment and joy in the everyday minutes of life.
