Unhappiness is easy. Happiness takes effort and courage.
Are you tired of being told to chase happiness like it’s the holy grail, only to find it slipping through your fingers?
So, why is happiness such a tricky business? In his famous book The Road Less Traveled, Dr. Scott Peck had a lot to say about it. Here are three ways to turn this happiness problem into a less daunting puzzle.
- #1: Happiness is not a feeling to wait for; it is a battle to wage.
- #2: Love is more than romantic feelings; it is a catalyst for happiness.
- #3: Focus on meaningful activities rather than a vague sense of happiness.
Way #1: Happiness is not a feeling to wait for; it is a battle to wage.

Dr. Peck says life is challenging, and we need to face our challenges head-on with discipline. This attitude leads to personal growth and, ultimately, happiness.
Unhappiness is easy; everyone can do it. Happiness, on the other hand, takes effort and courage.
