If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
~~ Albert Einstein ~~
While I agree that one should have goals (not just a goal), in my view this quote is more theoretical than practical. People and things affect our lives all the time. Any goal you set is almost always tied to some ‘thing’. Attaining goals adds to the overall satisfaction of life but does not necessarily make for a happy life as happiness really is a state of mind which changes from moment to moment; nobody is perpetually happy or perpetually unhappy.
