"Happiness" isn't the goal, here is why:

In this room. I'm sure we will find people who might be in one of these other two scenarios. The first is the current reality trap. So this is where you are happy now, but there's an unfulfilled part of you because you're not contributing to the world. This is called the current reality trap because happiness is elusive. You can get happy from smoking a joint. You can get happy from going to a great party. But happiness doesn't last. Fulfillment lasts. And to be fulfilled, according to Tony Robbins, we must fulfill our two greatest spiritual needs, the need to grow and the need to contribute. Both of these have to do with improving the future. When you're growing, you are moving towards a target in the future. When you're contributing, you are building something towards a target in the future that is fulfillment. So happiness is something that is easily lost unless you have the second ingredient, which is a vision for the future.
