Achievement Fuels Happiness

I believe that people are most happy when they are in the process of achieving.  The desired outcome might be to achieve something material like a new car, house or a certain amount of money.  Or, the desired outcome might be to achieve a healthy body or peace of mind.  No matter the desired outcome the process of achieving is what will bring about the outcome.  People are in a constant state of getting a result.  If someone is sitting on the couch getting fat, they are in the process of getting a result.  If someone is engaged in a pattern of activities to create wealth, they are in the process of getting a result.  Achievevement fuels happiness because when people are in the process of achieving something they are creating something new whether new to just themselves or new to the world.  In order to achieve anything great one must clearly understand "Why" they want to achieve a desired result.  Figure out "Why" first because this will define your outcome.
