"Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities"
- Aldous Huxley
About this Quote
Aldous Huxley's quote suggests that joy is not something that can be gotten through a direct and mindful effort to acquire it. Instead, joy is usually an indirect result of taking part in other activities that bring meaning, function, and fulfillment to our lives. Pursuing joy as a main objective is not likely to cause authentic and lasting happiness, however participating in activities that bring pleasure, satisfaction, and satisfaction can cause joy as a spin-off. Simply put, joy is a natural consequence of living a life that is fulfilling and meaningful, instead of something that can be achieved straight. This quote encourages us to concentrate on enjoying the journey in life, rather than consuming over the destination of joy.
