When I was younger, I always wanted to be happy. Everything was about finding happiness. As I've gotten older, I've realized that this is a bad approach.
Happiness is a natural outcome of health. If you're healthy, all your options are open. You can really live your life, unencumbered. An open, unencumbered life will naturally lead to happiness because you can do anything you want.
But health is not a natural outcome of happiness. Searching for happiness may lead you to over-eating, drugs, and dangerous behaviors of all sorts. None of that is healthy. Even if you achieve happiness by following that path, you will eventually destroy your health. And then you'll have neither happiness, nor health.
If you want to be happy, I urge you to pursue health. It will take you where you want to go.
