Eudaimonia: The Virtue of Struggle
A healthy relationship with goals emphasizes action over outcomes, advocating for detachment from results, which aligns with stoic virtue. This perspective is reinforced by Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia, suggesting that true fulfillment comes not from mere happiness, but from the effort, sacrifice, and struggles inherent in achieving personal accomplishments. Rather than fleeting joy gained from an easy windfall, eudaimonia reflects a deeper sense of achievement derived from overcoming challenges and earning one's success.
