“Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti

Simplified Meaning:
Happiness often shows up when you're not actively looking for it or trying very hard to be happy. Imagine having a pet cat: the more you chase the cat around, the more it runs away from you. But if you sit quietly, the cat might come and sit on your lap. In the same way, when you stop focusing too much on finding happiness and live your life, doing things you love or spending time with friends and family, happiness tends to appear naturally. This can be like accidentally finding money in an old jacket pocket when you weren't even looking for it. So, instead of stressing over how to be happy, just enjoy the little things you do each day, and you might find you're happier without even trying.
