Believing that happiness comes from material objects or material achievements will direct your mind to work to create experiences in that aspect. But when you can’t immediately create them, you will fantasize and games are a way you have learned of expressing that fantasy. Even if you manage to create those experiences, you will discover that they are not the source of your happiness. You know it in your heart that they will not ultimately make you permanently happy, and that is probably the reason why you can’t get into action to create them.

Be truly honest, and see through the illusion of your conditioning. Look into your heart. Where does true happiness come from? Be brave to find the truth yourself, through your own effort. Not everything the society has taught you will bring you happiness. You don’t have to blindly follow the common path. You can awaken.
