“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

Variant: Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of wellbeing and inner peace, the source of true happiness.
