“It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives, whether good or bad, that we find happiness”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi

Simplified Meaning:
Happiness comes from fully engaging with all parts of our lives, even the times that are difficult. Imagine a gardener who pays attention to every part of their garden. They enjoy the beauty of the flowers and also take care of the weeds and pests. Just like the gardener, when we face both good and bad situations with attention, we grow and feel more content. For example, if you work hard on a challenging project at school or work, you feel proud when it's done, and also learn a lot from the mistakes made along the way. By being present and attentive to everything happening in our lives, we discover a deeper sense of satisfaction and joy.
