So what are you after in life? Are you out just to be happy? or are you after something more? Many men want to point to our founding documents and take from there that all we are supposed to be is happy. We are supposed to pursue happiness, yet are we able to actually catch our happiness, or would you settle for joy? How about something greater than happiness? Are you supposed to settle for just happiness? Let's look at this little thought experiment. What's the difference? Some people want to equate success with being happy. Yet after a little while, they find themselves in a bit of a crisis because they have accomplished al they have set out for and they are still not happy. Why is that? What is success? What does it mean to be successful to you? So if you are after happiness and tragedy strikes does that mean you failed? Now you are seeing the problem if trying to be happy all the time. There are many instances of life where you actually don't want to be happy. You get a divorce, a family member passes away. Those are things out of your control so how are you equating that to your scoreboard of life? So what do you want to pursue? Fulfillment may be a good objective to run after. What is fulfillment? Can you be successful and fulfilled? Would that make you happy? Can you go after both?   Want more help finding a fulfilling life? Sign up for a mini-session.
