Don't wait for results to give yourself permission to be satisfied. Once you've achieved your goals you'll still be the same person. Love the work. Love the process.
Goals set up a pattern of differed happiness, meanwhile a focus on a system can lead to continual happiness. You aren't thinking "I'll lose 10 pounds, then I'll be happy", but instead you can be happy knowing you didn't eat out today.
<aside> ⚠️ Don’t defer happiness.

Or, as it's presented in The Happiness Equation : "Be Happy First". Don't put it at the end of a sequence that goes "work real hard → achieve greatness → have all the things → be happy".
