It may be difficult to detach – but that is the only way to happiness

We all want to do that one thing which gives our soul happiness and our life the perfect meaning
You don’t need to be someone different (eg a movie start or a player) to be happy
But you need to learn to enjoy small things in life

We all need love to grow
It makes us beautiful,
It makes your heart happy
Love means freedom,

But then you also need to learn one basic thing that people, situations and priorities changes,
Everything changes in due course of time
How much you cry, nothing gonna change and you need to understand this

Love, but don’t expect – you will be happy

It may be difficult to detach yourself – but that is the only way to happiness

The title is perfect "It may be difficult to detach – but that is the only way to happiness"
Yes but the approach a bit below par than what Bhagvad Gita says.

It says shloka ch 2.59
"Visaya vinivartante
niraharasya dehinah
rasa-varjam raso'py asya
param drstva nivartate"

Translation and Purport by H.D.Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Translation
The embodied soulmaybe restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense enjoyment remains.
But ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste , he is fixed in consciousness.

Pupport
Unless one is transcedentally situated ,it is not possible to cease from sense enjoyment. The process of restriction from sense enjoyment by rules and regulations is something like restricting a diseased person from eating certain types of eatables. The patient, however, neither likes such restrictions nor loses his taste for eatables. Similalrly,snese restriction by some spiritual process like astanga yoga, in the matter of yama,niyama,asana,pranayama,pratyahara,dharana,dhyana, etc is recommended for less intelligent persons who have no better knowledge.But one who has tasted the beauty of the Supreme Lord Krishna, in the course of his advance,ment in Krishna consciousness, no longer has taste for dead material things. Therefore, restrictions are there for the less intelligent neophytes in the spiritual advancement of life, but such restrictions are only good if one actually has a taste for Krishna consciousness. When one is actually Krishna conscious, he automatically loses his taste for pale things
