Achieving

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort - Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The reason for the morbid existence of an unfulfilled life is the inability to find happiness in anything. The lack of passion in any activity is the root cause of performing poorly and leading every moment forcibly just because of being alive. Yearning for a better tomorrow by expecting a miraculous twist of fate on the basis of a troublesome past is the easiest way to escape present realities. A wayward mind chooses to follow the path of least resistance inspite of knowing its futility. Its in the nature of human existence to avail every opportunity offering an easier way out, irrespective of the consequence.

In rare instances however, unbelievably magical events do occur giving a new lease of life to downtrodden and over burdened individuals. It is this reason which lies at the epicenter of hope, giving a fair chance for life to triumph.

The purpose of having an ambition is to guide oneself towards a certain goal. Various degrees of goal oriented learning is essential and constitutes understanding of subjects without repeating past mistakes. This in turn ensures today begins is at the end of yesterdays night.

Achievement of some sort is necessary to feel satisfied and content with oneself. The greater one's accomplishment, the more likely it's acceptance. Acceptance causes affection which converts to satisfaction which can translate to fulfillment and subsequently becomes the reason for love and happiness.

The sole purpose of life should be to seek truly independent happiness.

Caveat: the chain above, describe's the evolution leading up to happiness and doesn't constitute the one and only cause of it's existence. It's absolutely possible to live happily in an emotion, without having to go through the prescribed motions.
