I agree. The WHY is essential, and it ought to be a personal desire not to please others. Ultimately every desire we have will affect others so the more positive the effect on others the better the personal satisfaction. Thanks for the comment. I agree.

I'd like to add that, along with knowing WHAT you want, you need to know WHY you want it. Sometimes we want something because that's what others have said we SHOULD want or that's what we think is appropriate to want. Or we think that, once we get what we want, we can expect certain benefits that are unrealistic or out of our control ("I want to lose weight so my spouse will love me"). Then, if we achieve our goal, we still aren't happy because it didn't bring us the expected outcome. I couldn't agree more with what you've written.
