“Happiness comes from living as you need to, as you want to. As your inner voice tells you to. Happiness comes from being who you actually are instead of who you think you are supposed to be”
— Shonda Rhimes

Simplified Meaning:
True happiness happens when you live in a way that feels right for you. It's about doing what you really want and listening to your own feelings, rather than trying to meet others' expectations. Imagine a painter who loves creating art. If they take a stable office job because they believe it's what society expects, they might feel unhappy. However, if they continue painting and maybe even turn it into a career, they will feel fulfilled. Applying this in daily life means focusing on what you love and what genuinely makes you happy, instead of following paths others have set for you. Embrace your true self, and you'll find joy and satisfaction.
