Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…

That’s a beautiful analogy. I find happiness can be very unexpected as well.

I like the quote. In our life, we always tend to find that happiness.

It’s really hard to find happiness. The more you seek for it, the more you get disappointed.

I totally agree with that especially on the aspect of romantic love. The more I chase it the more it eludes me.

We might never know what the true meaning of happiness is, but it will sure happen to us. We should just wait.

I agree yet I also disagree. In my eyes it simply means be natural. Do not force it but do not be lazy either.

You are right with this,the more we need a thing urgently,the more it elude us. I will have to focus on other things then and let nature run its course.

A very true and insightful quote. I should pin this up on my room.

Do what you love and everything else will fall in place. I really like the quote.

I had never thought of happiness in this light. It’s very interesting.

This is a simple principle that a lot of people fail to heed to. I believe that happiness is a state of mind.

I’m so agreeing with this man..chasing happiness is not a wise decision..focussing on your passion and life will attract happiness

I totally agree with Henry’s quote, the more you try to chase happiness the more it eludes. Just concentrate o living and happiness will ind you.
