"Forget the goal. Work on establishing a system instead of focusing on a particular goal."

Colin Wright explores the ancient philosophical concept of eudaemonia in his article, shedding light on its relevance to modern life and personal development. Through a contrast with hedonism, Wright delves into how striving for eudaemonia involves seeking a deeper, more sustainable form of happiness through virtue and self-improvement, rather than fleeting pleasures.

Quotes to ponder:
"Eudaemonia can be seen as a metric by which one can measure the relative goodness or positivity of their life."
"Hedonism states, in essence, that pleasure and happiness are the main purpose of any person’s life."
"Eudaemonia, in contrast, focuses less on pleasure-related happiness and more on a broad sense of wellness."

Quotes to ponder:
"Tony Robbins illustrates this pretty beautifully. He likes to talk about how nothing in the world or anything that happens in it has any value or meaning aside from what we choose to put on it."
"Feelings are always fleeting and apt to change, which many of us over age 14 inherently know but conveniently choose to forget at times when sulking feels more enjoyable."
"The more we repeat the labels we attach to feelings, the stronger they become, thus turning into personality traits over time."
