Precisely because we pursue our dreams, we must keep our feet on the ground and advance steadily—this is what these words teach us.

I hope to be someone who can always hold on to that kindness—the desire to make someone happy.

That’s why these words encourage us to accept it without hesitation.
They come from John Lennon, who gave the world countless masterpieces as a member of the Beatles.
When happiness is right in front of us, many of us tend to think negatively—wondering if it’s just an illusion, if something terrible will happen next, or if someone will envy us.
But it’s okay! This happiness is meant for you, so don’t overthink it—just receive it honestly and wholeheartedly.
