“Being happy" implies a destination on the horizon instead of a process we can always be working toward. Think of striving to be a good athlete. At what point do you become "good"? When you do, will you no longer work to improve your skills? Katie Ledecky won four gold medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics. But instead of hanging her swim cap on being a "good" swimmer, she is constantly striving to be better, breaking even her own world records.”
