You start � you set goals � you achieve goals�you are happy
Part of our quest for better life is above the mentioned simple pattern.
What is magic that you set the goals so at least partly you control this process.
If you set unrealistic goals, you will be in an eternal struggle and frustrated why you are not achieving your goals.
This is a goal oriented culture: You intend to finish the race first, finish school, get a job, and buy a house.
If achieving goals is the only driving force of your life satisfaction ,you may run out of fuel very quickly.
In this situation you become totally dependant on your �success� and your �success� is often dependant on circumstances that are beyond your control.
You mood is miserably dependent on events in the outside world.
You become like an addict that is craving for new achievement.
If you don�t get your desired outcome, you become so miserable that you desperately need another dose of �success� in order to maintain your emotional balance and survival.
How many celebrities have fallen into this trap and could not survive without a bigger and a higher �dose� of success.
