We think that if we behave in the right way, then happiness will be bestowed upon us as a reward.
Instead, happiness is a skill that needs practice to be strengthened. If we sit around waiting for God, fate or some kind of karmic system to deliver it to us, we could be waiting a very long time.
And even if by some bizarre chance it is dropped in our laps, we won't be skilled and practiced enough to make the most of it.
