True happiness is found through having a clear mission and purpose in life rather than solely focusing on external goals.

“I'm happy today because I have inner peace and I think there's no goal that I've accomplished in the past that has brought me into peace when I accomplished it I felt depressed and anxious with a lot of goals from the past now I feel happy with just showing up and giving my best day to day”

Happiness is an emotion resulting from observing movement towards a valued goal, and serving others provides meaning in the midst of suffering.

“the system that produces happiness, let's say in the founder's sense, produces that emotion in relationship to the observation of movement towards a valued goal.”

Happiness is not short-term gratification, but is found through pursuing purpose and serving others.

“The idea that that that some sort of purpose in your life is what what makes you happy, and that and that there's there there is a given set of traditions and social interactions and and standards of living that genuinely make people happy.”
