Wanting What You Get

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”

Wanting What You Get
Inspiring Joy - Dale Carnegie Quote

Success might be about getting what we want, but true joy comes from appreciating and loving what we already have. This can mean finding joy in the communities we’ve built, the identities we’ve claimed, and the creative projects we are working on. It’s not about settling - it’s about recognizing the beauty and worth of what’s already ours. When we embrace this kind of joy, we allow ourselves to thrive, rooted in gratitude and authenticity.
