Aristotle felt that happiness was not a state of feeling, enjoyment, or pleasure, but rather it was the definition of that which is the most desirable and satisfying of life. Aristotle did not believe that God provided us with such a life, but rather we had to earn it as a result of our good actions. Our good actions were the result of our acquired virtues we developed through learning, training, and cultivation of proper habits. If we did this, he believed, we then acquired the most godlike blessed prize that a human could achieve in the world. To Aristotle, critical through and application over time created virtue, which was the greatest and most noble accomplishment of any human being (Aristotle, 1925, p. 18).
