If you do work that you love you might as well work twice as harder than other work you hate. "Loving your job will help you improve more than others and succeed." (credit to USC dornslife) you have to find what you love to work at because " Since most of us spend a great deal of our lives working, it is inevitable that work plays a key role in shaping our levels of happiness." ( credit to HBR) 
   ¨We spend so much of our lives at work that it’s important we find happiness while their. Unfortunately, boring, stressful and tedious jobs can take their toll and many people find their time at work more miserable than happy¨ (credit to Jill Harness) This is why we need to have work to love so we would be more positive and happy than with a job we don't love.

Whether you are setting career goals, relationship and familial goals or daily goals, it is pertinent to understand what your objectives are in order to establish goals that you can ultimately attain." ( credits to                                                 ) 
        "There has been a lot of research in positive psychology on the benefits of goal setting to help maintain a happier and healthier life. Being happy takes a lot of practice and a lot of work, and goal setting is one part of the equation.
       Your dopamine system, which is a chemical that is released every time you experience a reward, is reliant upon goal setting and achievement. So as dopamine is released into the part of your brain responsible for positive rewards, you are essentially motivated to repeat this occurrence. When you set goals and accomplish them, you and your brain are rewarded (Mehta, 2013)." (Credits to                                               )
This is why the types of goals you set are associated with your happiness. According to Bruce Headey’s study on life goals and happiness, it is pertinent to establish non-zero goals as opposed to zero-sum goals.

Non-zero goals will encompass the welfare of other people, besides yourself, and they will promote complete life satisfaction. Zero-sum goals are those goals that offer more commitment to your own desires.

These kinds of goals have been proven to be detrimental to life satisfaction because they are basically concentrated on material gains.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t seek to achieve your own personal goals, but putting too much emphasis on them can be dangerous especially when non-zero goals are ignored. Branching out your goal setting to include other people, and how you can help and serve them will benefit you more in the long run.

To have a beloved, as well as all the thoughts, feelings, and actions that come along with love? The evidence is pretty clear (link is external) that although love can make you feel great, it also brings quite a bit of misery, too—and not just when you break up. Being in love is associated with emotions of joy and happiness, but it also associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, too. Because happiness is not just about good feelings—it’s also about the absence of bad ones—the research is clear that love does not equal happiness." (credits to Psycology Today)
       "Love is wonderful, don’t you think? Anyone who has experienced unconditional love will agree. A partner who’s by your side — in sickness and in health, for better and worse — can change habits and life outlooks significantly, often to the point of improving health and happiness! There are several fascinating ways that love makes you happier and healthier, and here are three of the most significant: Love Fights Stress, Love enables you to live longer, Love gives you a teamate for life" (credits to Psycology Today) These examples are all relating to happiness, loving someone is very important for your happiness.
