Happiness, fulfillment, articles and advice

Happiness is a state of mind that usually accompanies fulfillment. It is induced in the perceptions of the individual who experiences it by the feeling that a goal has been reached and is accompanied by a feeling of self worth and achievement.

The more difficult the road travelled and the greater the effort needed to overcome hindrances and disappointments along the way the greater the feeling of fulfillment. Happiness is a combination of many things but supreme fulfillment that accompanies all the senses in the individual is a euphoric state in which nothing seems impossible.

The successful person at the moment of achieving the end goal can look back on the vision that created the idea and effort to plan and research possibilities. They can see the self esteem that was built as they undertook tasks that allowed their abilities and personalities to develop and create the self confidence to go forward. They can look back and recognize the disappointments and successes and the enthusiasm and commitment to the goal that was needed to overcome the problems encountered.

In looking back they will realize that the person they knew before the journey was a different person to the one they know today.

Success and fulfillment will come to you through others. It is a state that arises out of friendship and association and requires constant renewal and faith. As long as we have love and show love we will always have friends. For the best way to overcome our own problems is to help another with the same problem. To reach the mind and fulfill the spirit we must provide sincerity and integrity in our relations with our family, friends and associates. Bring happiness to those around you and they will share it with you. Show them gratitude and they will bring you happiness.

Happiness cannot be attained on your own. Happiness is an emotion that is best shared with others. Remember to learn from defeat and be graceful when you lose but humble in winning. Accept your defeats graciously but have compassion and be forgiving of your associates or friends who might have let you down. Reach for the future but never regret the past. There might be tears along the way but do not forget to laugh.

Take life seriously but always have a sense of humour. Remember humility when you are at the top as that is the sign of character, have an open mind so that great wisdom can enter. True happiness and fulfillment will come to you when you can say that you have done many things and gained the wisdom to know the best thing of all was to make others happy.

"Be content and seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. Be worthy and respectable, study hard, think quietly, talk gently and act frankly. Open your heart and bear all cheerfully and be perfectly fulfilled."
