How To Build A Fantastic Future
![Page 2: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
I read an interesting article the other day about "happiness."
![Page 3: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Seems it's a pretty interesting topic, since it's obviously something everybody wants.
![Page 4: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So it's pretty easy to get grant money, funding, etc., to do studies.

Unfortunately, it's hard to study, because it's hard to measure.

In fact, just asking the question, "What makes you feel happy?" Will require you to THINK about those things that make you happy.
![Page 7: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And as I'm sure you know, happiness can be pretty fleeting.
![Page 8: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It generally doesn't last, if the situation stays the same.
![Page 9: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If you're sore at the end of the day, the first few minutes you slip into a hot bath may make you feel incredibly happy.
![Page 10: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
You think of all you've accomplished, you relax knowing you've put in a good day's work. You can look forward to a decent dinner and maybe your favorite
TV show, or book or whatever.
![Page 11: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But how long will that "feeling" last? If you sit in that tub long enough, the hot water will turn cold.
![Page 12: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Because humans are always in some kind of PROCESS, rather than some static blob of chemicals, happiness may well be a process also.
![Page 13: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Not a destination, but a side effect of forward momentum.
![Page 14: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Most people feel pretty good when they are on the path of achieving something worthwhile.
![Page 15: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Think of the last time you were preparing for a party.
![Page 16: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A part you would enjoy hosting or attending.
![Page 17: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
While you were preparing whatever it was (be it shopping for clothes or baking a cake) you probably felt pretty good.
![Page 18: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You were CREATING something that was important to you, and LOOKING FORWARD into the future when something good was going to happen.
![Page 19: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
On the other hand, think of a time when you were just sitting there, doing nothing, with NOTHING to look forward to.
![Page 20: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Quite a different experience!
![Page 21: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It seems an easy conclusion that so long as you are in the process of changing something towards a better future, one that is largely in your
control, happiness is a natural by product.
![Page 22: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The good news is that ANYTHING will work.
![Page 23: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
So long as you are taking some kind of action every single day, that isn't just a pastime in and of itself, but something toward a goal YOU have chosen,
you'll be much more likely to be happy.
![Page 24: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
One thing can do is some mental exercises.
![Page 25: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Since your brain, and the quality of your thoughts, is a PRIME INGREDIENT in anything you'll be building in this life, working on your noggin seems to
be a good choice.
![Page 26: How To Achieve True Happness](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/587945741a28ab23468b7239/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Some daily practice will give you that feeling of forward momentum, enough so that when you look a year or two into your future, you'll have a
deep and real feeling that it WILL be awesome.
