— William James

Simplified Meaning:
Doing something might not always make you happy, but you won't find happiness if you do nothing. Imagine a person who wants to get fit. Just thinking about it won't make them fit or happy; they need to exercise. Sometimes they might not enjoy every workout, but each step gets them closer to feeling good and strong. In life, achieving goals or finding joy often requires effort. Whether it's starting a new hobby, working hard in a new job, or making new friends, taking action is essential. So, if you want to be happy, you have to do things, even if those things aren't always fun.
