We often procrastinate happiness, believing that achieving certain goals will make us happy. However, looking back, we realize that achieving those goals did not bring lasting happiness. We constantly put off being happy, thinking that once we reach a certain point in life, everything will be fine. But life proves us wrong, and we continue to deceive ourselves.

One of the reasons for this is our inability to truly understand and accept our mortality. It is only when we fully grasp the fact that we will die someday that we can appreciate the present moment and find happiness. We must learn to be happy with what we have and not rely on external achievements for our happiness. The purpose of life is to enjoy the journey and find contentment in the present.
