The More We Measure the Less We Live

Easter

I found the following post by Craig Worst on a Facebook Page titled, Days of Gratitude. “We have been conditioned to believe that setting goals and measuring everything we do will bring us happiness, peace, and success. While this may be true for ‘material happiness,’ the opposite is true for ‘authentic happiness,’ Stop measuring the distance you run, the calories you eat, the money you make and all the other things that you measure. Delete the ‘measuring files’ from your mind and replace the time spent on them with acts of kindness, patience, understanding and generosity; true peace and happiness will follow.” The goal is not to see how many Easter eggs you can find, it’s about enjoying the Easter egg hunt.

  • Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” — Mahatma Gandhi
  • “Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
