Chasing Happiness is Poisoning You. Here’s the Antidote.
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life
You’ve bought the happiness lie if you believe it’ll happen:
-> “Once I get the promotion…”
-> “Once I find the right partner…”
-> “Once I earn more, travel more, achieve more…”
Chasing happiness like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow keeps you running on a treadmill of “not enough.” It’s exhausting.
Worse, it’s poisonous to your inner peace and mental health.
But here’s the truth:
-> Happiness isn’t ‘out there’. It isn’t something you ‘get’. It’s not a reward for doing more. It isn’t a product to acquire.

Reset: Chase Meaning. Establish Purpose.
Happiness is a byproduct, a side-effect, of alignment with your purpose.
Happiness flows from meaning and purpose.
So don’t chase happiness. Chase meaning instead.
Establish purpose. That’s how happiness is turned on.
