Usually the things that make us happy in the short term (drinking, watching tv, etc) make us miserable long term while things that make us miserable in the short term (working out, studying, etc) make us happy long term. Its all about delayed gratification

Happyness vs. Joy

@385 the pursuit of happiness, love or money are all self-defeating.

The pursuit of select passions, the practice of which avoid contradictions in thought or feeling, is a much surer path to contentment.

In my experience, it seems like happiness comes from living a meaningful life, but happiness can’t be found legitimately if it’s the means to the end.
