""Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness. On the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit. Followed not as a means, but as itself an ideal end. Aiming at something else, they find happiness by the way." - John Mill Stuart"

"Sometimes you can become happy just by appreciating how content you are. Sometimes I forget that. When you are content with the world, you are doing something that is satisfying to you. When you are satisfied, you will soon become dissatisfied. Accepting that as a truth can be helpful. Becoming dissatisfied comes with life. It is also the reason for growth and change. It is the feeling of wanting more. You may be satisfied with your highscore, but eventually, you will want to beat it. It may come instantly, or it may come with time. Just let it be, and you will improve and grow."
