How to Be Happy | Earl Nightingale Wisdom

How to be happy, and why the harder you chase happiness, the faster it backs away from you. The problem was never that you wanted the wrong things. The problem is that happiness was never waiting at the finish line. It was in the direction you were facing the whole time. This lecture explores Earl Nightingale's teachings on happiness and meaning: what happiness actually is, why happiness is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal, why you can feel unhappy even when nothing is wrong, why every arrival leaves you flat within weeks, how to find contentment and meaning in an ordinary day, and how to be happy again on the way up instead of someday at the top.
