“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values”
— Ayn Rand

Simplified Meaning:
Feeling truly happy comes when you work towards and reach the things that matter most to you. Imagine you really value being a good artist. When you practice a lot and finally create a beautiful piece of art, that success brings you real joy because it aligns with what's important to you. Think about a time when you set a goal and achieved it, like saving up for something special or learning a new skill—how good you felt comes from fulfilling your personal values. It's not just about having fun but feeling satisfied doing what you believe is important. So, to be happy, figure out what you care about, work towards it, and the joy will follow.
