“Example: Do anything, but let it produce joy”

Henry Miller

Simplified Meaning:

When you do something, no matter what it is, make sure it brings you happiness. Think about a time when someone is painting a picture. It doesn’t matter if the painting ends up being perfect; what matters is that the person enjoys the process and feels happy doing it. Or imagine a child playing with building blocks. The child builds and knocks them down for fun because it makes them laugh and smile. The heart of the quote is that life is too short to spend time on activities that don’t make you feel good inside. So, choose activities or work that fill you with joy and satisfaction, whether it’s cooking, reading, or helping others. Focusing on what makes you happy can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
