> Happiness isn't the destination, happiness is the journey.

This is a comma-splice error.

I would write it as 2 sentences.

Happiness isn't the destination. Happiness is the journey.

Others might write it with a semi-colon.

Happiness isn't the destination; happiness is the journey.


Either way, the audio would be OK, so I'll make the change to the text so I can go ahead and add an audio file.

If you disagree with the edit, please let me know.

>> Happiness isn't the destination, happiness is the journey.

> This is a comma-splice error.

I don't think the original sentence was an error.

Incidentally, If it were, then these sentences from your List 907 would also be errors:

[#239721] Speech is silver, silence is gold.
[#953444] I don't need to sound like a native speaker, I just want to be able to speak fluently.
