Personal Goal Setting b layout 1

Section 1

The only true goal is happiness

In study after study, going all the way back to Aristotle, we find that what most

people want, above all, is to be happy, however they define that quality.

Happiness is the common denominator of all people and all human behavior.

Everything we do is an attempt to achieve our happiness in some way. In fact, 

you are only really successful to the degree to which you can achieve your own

happiness in life.

If you achieve everything else in life, money, home, fame, success, and so on, but

you do not achieve your own happiness, to that degree you have failed. In fact, a

good measure of how well you are doing in life is to ask yourself what percentage

of the time do you feel that you are genuinely happy? The answer to this question

will tell how far you have come and how far you still have to go.
