To be happy, you need to have goals
As the Harvard Business School states, human happiness is overwhelmingly associated with a vision and the journey towards that vision. If someone is stagnating, going nowhere, or doesn't know where to head, they are usually not happy. Happiness comes from having some goals and working successfully towards them.
Thus it happens that someone who has achieved their goals suddenly does not feel happy because now they have no other vision to work towards. So what should they do? Simply set new goals. Nor do these have to be career related; they can be personal, family or even sporting goals.
Always compare yourself with yourself
Many people, despite their undeniable successes, do not feel completely happy because they are comparing themselves to someone else who has achieved even more. This attitude is unfortunately natural; the problem with it, however, is that there is always someone who is better off than us, whether in our surroundings or, for example, on social media.
The only way to escape this endless pressure is to compare yourself solely with yourself. Are you better now than you were two years ago? Have you learned anything new? Are you happier, have you found a better work-life balance? Have you been promoted? If the answer to any of these items is yes, you no longer have to worry about what other people have done.
