Popular sources and online personalities offer simple, universal recipes claiming anyone can achieve constant happiness through easy practices. Those promises often clash with the rarity of sustained joy and with implausible claims about effortless wealth. Happiness, defined as continuous joy and contentment without worries, fears, regrets, or pain, is an internal and abstract state that many cannot sustain. Failure to attain that ideal is frequently attributed to personal stubbornness or inadequacy. A realistic living philosophy requires acceptance of pain, loss, and death. People should make the most of finite time even if true, constant happiness remains unreachable.
Becoming rich also seems to be quite easy, but not quite as achievable as being happy. One has to be very gullible to really believe it possible to earn lots of money by working from home a couple of hours a day, as some promise, or even become a millionaire by simply ridding oneself of the constraints of self-doubt, as others claim.
What I mean by happiness is precisely what those who claim to have found its secrets describe: a state of almost constant joy and contentment, in which one can't wait to get up in the morning, every morning, to savor all the many pleasures the day has in store. No worries, no regrets, no fears, no pains. They have all been left behind during the process of a well-adjusted pursuit of psychological wellness.
