Active Happiness vs. Passive Happiness
There's two kinds of happiness: active happiness and passive happiness.
Active happiness is where you have to take action in order to create your own happiness.
Example: Planning out a trip to Disneyland is effort. Taking the kids is work and plenty of effort. But it's for fun. It's for your happiness.

Examples: naps, playing with your dog, taking a walk.
