People have a lot of false ideas about happiness. They try and achieve happiness in ways that are actually counter productive.
One such idea about happiness that is fairly common is the single issue concept. This is you convince yourself that your happiness lies in one particular thing.. Now if you are not able to get it you become unhappy. But before you let this happen you must ask yourself if the belief is really true. On careful consideration, you will realise that you are overlooking a whole lot of other things that will bring just as much happiness to you. This is a pitfall you must avoid.

This is so very true. Our ecocentric mind overlooks the broader picture, this makes us sad when we fail to achieve that.
Thanks.
