Purpose over Happiness

Making happiness your greatest goal in life isn’t a bad one. But it’s not the best goal either.
Life throws a lot of things your way that will threaten happiness. Happiness in a way is quite fickle.

A lost job can threaten happiness.
An illness can threaten happiness.

So purpose is a better goal.

Purpose gives us the better “why” in life. And things like loss of job can’t deter us from purpose as easily as they can deter us from happiness.
