Achievement ala Ayn Rand

A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
