What happens when we don’t get enough done, or accomplish all that we wanted to accomplish in a given time period, or a given day? Then, we’re not allowed to be happy. After all, we have failed at our objective. We may even call ourselves a loser. Yet, all this is pointless, Our happiness shouldn’t be based on what we get done or what we don’t get done. Sure, we want to do a good job, but it’s just not realistic that things are always going to go smoothly, or even that we are always going to make the right choices. So, why not be happy no matter what happens? A side-effect of getting on a roll and accomplishing more and more is that sometimes we find it hard to stop. We don’t want to stop because we are getting so much done. Well, that could be bad if it takes away from your free time, your time of rest, or if it takes away from your family time. How are you going to be with others and do things if you are always working? Sure, achievement is good. It makes us happy in and of itself. But it’s not all there is to life. Far from it actually.
