For sure, but I do not believe in the pursuit of happiness, and I may be splitting hairs, but I believe in the pursuit of contentment, "which is not settling but a hopefully high-altitude baseline, coming from within and connection to without. It doesn’t stem from the acquisition of attachments but awareness of connection to the world and the universe as a living, breathing, and heart-beating organism and from alignment of mind and soul and discerning my why — my drive — from discovering who I am at my core." Here is a great essay by Will Buckingham that I read many months ago in Curious that lead me to link to it in the short form that I just self-quoted. https://medium.com/curious/happiness-is-not-a-mountain-it-is-a-landscape-b16741944770
