Happiness and Fulfillment
You cannot find happiness by making it your goal. Happiness is the unintended benefit of pursuing personal dreams and living true to your self. A deep sense of fulfillment will emerge when you proactively connect the person you are with the things that you choose to do.
Here is what films have to say about happiness and personal fulfillment.
“You are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from human relationships. God’s placed it all around us, it’s in everything, in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at those things.”
“Happiness is only real when shared.”
"Maybe happiness is something we can only pursue, but never have."
Nobody ever asks to be happy later.”
"Yesterday you were better off than you are today but it took today for you to realize it. But today has arrived and it's too late. You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had, or what others have. The grass is always greener on the other side."
“We must not expect happiness, Sayuri. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well it is a sudden gift that cannot last forever.”
“No point in punching things you can’t see.”
“She should find another interest, one she can take more from.”
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times when one only remembers to turn on the light.”
“I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts and of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.”
