Translation Buddha sentence

Hello, :ywave:

I have 2 translations for the sentence "There is no way to Hapiness, being happy is the way"

Translation 1:
幸せへの道などない。幸せが道なのだ。

Translation 2:
幸福とは旅することだ、目的地ではない。

Would somebody be so kind to check which one of those is correct.
Or if both are not right pls give me the right translation.

Thanks a lot :)
Regards
Evelin

This is such an intriguing question.

As a direct translation, only #1 is correct.

However, #2, while not being a direct translation, sounds very nice and deep.
