Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the prompt below.
People are happy only when they have their minds fixed on some goal other than their own happiness. Happiness comes when people focus instead on the happiness of others, on the improvement of humanity, on some course of action that is followed not as a means to anything else but as an end in itself. Aiming at something other than their own happiness, they find happiness along the way. The only way to be happy is to pursue some goal external to your own happiness.
Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

I think that people are more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness for the fact that if you focus in accomplishing your goals you will get far. Easily because you start coming up to your plan little by little and before you know it your dream of a life time is in front of your eyes. In order to forfill you dream you have to have a positive attitude toward what you want in life. If you dont want no problem excuse my language but send the you know where. Then you cant let nothing get in your way like family issues and personal issues get in your way because then you wont be happy you will let go everything you live for and everything you have and you loose it all.

Like me i want to be alot of things in life but i want to make a diiference in the world i want to be a part time dancer for any sport. I want to be a police officer for teenage violence or a probation officer either one. I also want to own a couple of businesses and stations and i want to go to school to be a pediatrition . Which out happiness i cant go no where. My attitude toward something i use to love may fail. Like right now i dont have the same happiness about going to do all these things which my parents being split up. I feel bad mostly because i dont have a father figure around to help me with what i need and help me understand life. Me and my mother dont have the same connection me and my father have. My dad tell me how to keep my mind on the right track so that i can move away from all the negative things. He always got my back when i need something for my career. For example i wanted to dance i had fun dancing my to years but now its time for a money break i know he want me to explore and find new things and hobbies so i can stay successful in life.
