“A real obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.”-Fontenelle
Happiness is a great thing, it can improve your relationship with the people around you. However, everything must have a balance. If you are always happy then you won’t be as grateful when good things happy to you later in life. Its not realistic to expect that you will always be happy, there has to be times where you must go through hard times and through those hard times it will make you a better person and you will learn from it. From those hard times, you will throughly appreciate and be grateful for what you have in life and then you realize that happiness isn’t a material thing but it comes from the heart.
“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”-Anonymous
Success is not a bad thing, our country was built through determine and wanting to be successful. However, when you want something so much that it hurts your relationship with the people around and especially people that love you, then that is bad and unhealthy. You should strive to achieve great things in your life, but there has to be a healthy balance to it. Happiness in the other hand is being satisfied with you have in life no matter how small or how simple it is. It is finding happiness in everyday things that other people take for granted and appreciating that you are alive, while other people in this world are suffering from illness and other diseases.
