Felicity is not an end in and of itself

I am a man with a plan. My plan, thus far, is to have a plan. A plan is that which has eluded me thus far in my life, and thus far in this, 2012, the year of my rejuvenation, the plan has been to achieve happiness. And I achieved that, I had an incredible spring and summer, six months of building bridges in my family, meeting new friends, solidifying old friendships, undoing years of neglect and undergoing an unprecedented personal transformation.

Imagine my surprise when I realised that felicity is not an end in and of itself.
