The Four Faculties of Happiness

One of the first to come upon this principle and eloquently reason it out, was Aristotle. In his book of ethics, he wrote that all things have a purpose or an ultimate end - that is, whether in expressing art or scientific pursuits or whatever action we take, we are always striving to arrive at some 'good'. Our choices are not random. They reflect our underlying beliefs of what behaviors (means) can get us to a desired good (desired end).

If you take any of your behaviors and ask yourself, 'why do I do that?', 'why that?', 'why that?' - and continue to brake it down to its root cause, you'll soon find that you reach an end point. This is always breaks down, in some form of statement, 'because it makes me feel happy'. This is equally applicable whether a choice is to smoke or to exercise. The means may differ, but that which we aim at is the same.

In the same vain, Abraham Maslow observed that it is indeed true when it comes to his observations on what creates peak psychological health. His most famous quote expresses the same idea - i.e. "a musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. This need we call self-actualization."

The essence of self-actualization, is then in the expression of what is our inherent potential as human beings. We will only find our happiness or complete fulfillment in our life, when we live up to the unique faculties which are inherent within our creation.

Many answers have been given by philosophers and authors throughout the ages, but perhaps none are more revelatory than the set discovered by Dr. Stephen Covey. He came to this breakthrough realization when reviewing in-depth 200 years of success literature published in the USA and the keys to successful living.

These are the capacities that establish human consciousness, as something totally different from any other animal. It is these four faculties that empower a human being to move beyond conditioned reflexes, beyond learned limitations and beyond problems.It is our ability to change that is the key human characteristic, and as such, it's in this expression of human potential that we realize complete happiness.

These four faculties, are the elements responsible for every advancement, every creative act, and every miracle:

i.e. where we facilitate 'breakthrough realizations'...
where we create new forms, ideas and thoughts...
where we set in motion THE LAW OF ATTRACTION...

In the first module of 'a course in Greatness' we'll integrate these four faculties, in one complete self-empowerment system. In 'The Four Habits of Happiness' course, you'll learn a master habit that creates 'the matrix': the substance within which all other habits in this program originate, develop and take form.

What You Can Realize
Through direct and personal experience, 'The Four Faculties s of Happiness' helps you develop a habitual method for continual self-improvement. In this 40 days intensive, you'll practice the 'Habits for Self-Actualization: The Personal Development Workout That Always Works'.

This is a powerful practice for cultivating one's personal, social and spiritual potential. It creates the foundation for integrating within, the essential qualities of self-actualizers and the laws of success - in action, thought and emotion.

Your Course of Habitualization
The Four Faculties of Happiness course is an intensive personal development workout that will help you unleash your highest intelligence. You'll come to habitualize a daily practice for creating the desired changes you seek and in effect, become the change you want to see.

Unlike other methods that engage just one faculty (usually the imagination), this method engages simultaneously all of your highest capabilities. Unlike other methods that soon become dull and repetitive, this method is consistently fresh and challenging. And most important, unlike other methods, it integrates easily in your lifestyle and creates measurable, almost immediate results.

Grounded in the research of the greatest habits for personal growth, this course will support you to habitualize a unique 'workout routine', made up of a set of practices that exist together in a natural relationship and have an organized efficiency. As past members have discovered, this practice will be a lifelong companion on your journey to high achievement and self-actualization.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do
are in harmony. Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed.
Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
Mahatma Gandhi
