Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
-Jean Paul Sartre
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

whereas to be steadfast in your 'being' no effort is required. The best part is,
there is only joy and happiness, not just for one but for hundreds of reasons.
