“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”

Albert Einstein

Simplified Meaning:

To have a happy life, it's important to focus on goals rather than relying on people or material possessions. This means setting personal ambitions or dreams that you work towards over time. For instance, imagine you want to become a good painter. If you put your energy into improving your painting skills and creating art, it gives you a sense of purpose. On the other hand, if your happiness depends only on what people think of you or the things you own, it may leave you feeling empty when those people or things are not around. By having a goal, like becoming a better painter, you continuously find joy and satisfaction in your progress and achievements. This approach can lead to lasting happiness because it is something you control and work towards every day.
