“Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness”

Eckhart Tolle (1948) German writer

“Fame does not define me. If you are looking for fame to define you, then you will never be happy and you’ll always be searching for happiness, and you will never find it in fame. Fulfillment comes from within you, by being authentic to yourself — not chasing fame.”
