As per my analysis and experience, the path to happiness starts from wish!... yes, just a "Wish". When a wish is properly planned, it becomes a "Goal". When a goal is attained, it becomes "Achievement". When an achievement gets enough recognition/publishment, it becomes "Success". And when a success is shared with family, friends and others then only it becomes "Happiness".
Below is the formula that depicts the milestones of happiness in bold.
Wish + Plan => Goal + Attainment => Achievement + Recognition => Success + Sharing => Happiness.
The orange parts are the ones where one utilizes the intelligence, knowledge, connections and all possible resources.
I hope my analysis would help few strugglers who are pursuing Happiness.
