Happiness & Achievement Are Independent Variables

In our pursuit of success, many of us mistakenly conflate happiness with achievement, believing that once we achieve a certain milestone, happiness will naturally follow. In this presentation, we’ll explore why this isn’t true—and why it’s essential to understand that happiness and achievement are independent variables in our lives.

True fulfilment doesn’t come from the next big win or earning more accolades; the feeling of “I will be happy when…” is a trap that keeps us perpetually chasing the next goal, like a “hungry ghost” that can never be satisfied.

Achievement, while valuable, should be pursued for its own sake, not as a prerequisite for happiness. This presentation will challenge how you think about your personal metrics for success.
