“Looking for happiness is a sure way to sadness, I think. You have to take each moment as it comes.”

Benedict Cumberbatch

Simplified Meaning:

When you focus too much on trying to be happy all the time, you often end up disappointed because life is full of ups and downs. Instead, it's better to live in the present and appreciate what you have right now. For example, think about someone who always wants a perfect vacation. They may get upset if even one small thing goes wrong, like bad weather or a delayed flight. But if they enjoy each day as it comes, they can still have a great time despite these issues. So, rather than chasing after happiness, try to enjoy the little things in your daily life. By doing this, you'll find more peace and contentment, even when things aren't perfect.
