Others are unhappy in their work. They think they'll be happy if they change jobs, so they go from one job to the other, yet happiness eludes them. Those who feel dissatisfied with where they live are always moving in a continual search for happiness. Happiness does not lie in fleeting pleasures, it lies within us. What is commonly considered pleasure is nothing but an illusion.
Many women are unhappy because they've been fed the wrong kind of information.
If you approach your work in the home with love and joy, then the work just flows. But if you feel that it's a great challenge to be a woman and a tremendous challenge to be a wife and a mother, and you love your home and your work in it, and you love bringing up the children, then you're going to enjoy homemaking. Our Sages explain that happiness takes you out of every difficult situation. Others have adopted the wrong attitude, copied from the outside world, which says that only money and material possessions bring happiness. This leads to a never-ending race to acquire more and more.
