       Sure, achievement is good. It makes us happy in and of itself. But it’s not all there is to life. Far from it actually. And like I said, no matter what happens in reality we can make the choice to be happy. We can choose to be happy no matter how much work we got done, or didn’t get done. Let me tell you a little secret. No matter what we get accomplished in life, at the end of the day, it doesn’t truly give us fulfilling happiness. Did you hear what I just said? True fulfilling happiness can only come from our relationships with God. Why not from achievements? We all know when we have completed that project, or completed that race, or accomplished some particular goal, we feel happy for a little while and then the happiness slowly but surely leaves us as we start to focus on the next thing. Am I not right in this? What one thing have you achieved in your own life that has given you a sustained, fulfilling happiness? Nothing I would venture to say. Only our relationships with God, right? It is his fellowship that makes us well-pleased.
