Yes, I have found happiness when I wasn’t looking for it. This is how I translate that quote above:
Become so engrossed in what you are doing that you forget about the payoff.
Take work, for example. I get so into my work, that the next thing I know, I’m seeing all the benefits of my hard work pay off. Same goes for love. Instead of looking for it, I stay busy making things happen in my life and relishing in the things I have going for me, friends, work, hobbies, etc. Then, you lift your head up and “bam”! I met Lary.
