Have you ever wondered why you work hard at something you may not enjoy? Maybe for you an example would be house cleaning or yardwork or cooking.

The answer to this question is the fifth and final pillar of happiness: accomplishment. When you do a daunting task, you’re not necessarily doing it because you enjoy it. You do it because you know the feeling of satisfaction it will eventually bring when it is completed.

Empirical research shows us that the drive towards accomplishment starts at a young age and is innate within us. We want to see the fruit of our labor and experience the positive feelings that go along with that accomplishment.

Listen to today’s WorkPuzzle to find out how the drive towards accomplishment can help you get the most out of your candidates.
