Why Success is Happiness

The pursuit of success is a natural human drive. /We all desire success in one form or another. /Perhaps you want to get a promotion,/ or run a successful business, or be respected for your art. /But if we are going to put a good deal of our energy into achieving a goal, / it’s worth taking the time to ask ourselves/ whether the goal is worth achieving. /If we ask ourselves why we wish to achieve anything, /surely the answer is that we believe it will make us happy. /Now we must ask ourselves if this is true,/ and whether there might be a quicker way to happiness, and most importantly, whether the pursuit of this future happiness is doing harm to our happiness today. /One Greek philosopher once said that if you ask anyone/ why they are doing what they are doing,/their answer will be because it makes them happy.
