It is difficult to focus your attention on achieving your goals, when instead you are focusing it on your unhappiness.
If you are unhappy, it is probably good to notice that and decide to do something about it. But then you should take your attention away from your unhappiness and direct it towards those things you intend to do.
It’s when you are happy that you can further increase your happiness by reflecting on how happy you are. That’s called gratitude. But even then, at some moment you need to stop focusing on being grateful, and redirect your attention towards getting more of the things that make you happy.
