About this Quote

This quote by Benjamin Spock recommends that true happiness is not something that can be actively pursued, but rather something that is a result of doing something that makes us feel fulfilled. This indicates that in order to be genuinely pleased, we need to first discover something that we are passionate about and that brings us joy. It is just when we are doing something that we are passionate about that we can experience true joy. This quote likewise recommends that joy is not something that can be accomplished through material belongings or external validation, however rather something that originates from within. Joy is an outcome of doing something that we are passionate about and that brings us delight, not something that can be bought or attained through external ways.
