This
is another self-evident, but often forgotten truth...
In
the process of continual growth, continual development
of self -- in each day becoming a better and better human
being -- we find happiness.
Whether
we are service providers or administrators, teachers
or doctors, entertainers or artists, engineers or IT
specialists, or whatever vocational choice we make with
our lives -- happiness comes as the effect
of living our lives closer and closer to our potential,
on all dimensions, on a continual basis.
-
In
using the full capabilities of our physical, emotional,
social, mental and spiritual self,
-
In
fulfilling the function and purpose of our whole Being,
-
In
expanding the highest qualities/ potentials of who we
are as humans,
we
realize the state of happiness.
The
pursuit of happiness, is therefore one with the pursuit
of self-actualization. We need but look
within our experience, at our moments of greatest joy,
and trace out this essential cause and effect relationship.

In
the movement of becoming the very best of who we are, in expressing
excellence, in living out the highest good -
all else is then added:
greater
self-esteem, greater self-confidence, greater enjoyment with
everything we interact with... to all the external goods that
come as the effect, of being a cause of greater value in our
world.
This is a timeless idea of happiness -- an integrated
understanding of who we are and what is our real purpose.
 Expressed
in different ways, it's the essential teachings of all the Greats:
from the ancients of Buddha to Jesus, from Plato to Confucius,
from Aristotle to Marcus Aurelius, to the greats of our age --
from Einstein to Gandhi, from Martin Luther King to Eleanor Roosevelt,
from Dalai Lama to Mother Teresa.
Yes,
this is the path less traveled,
but it is the one that makes all the difference.
For
conversely, unhappiness is the result of
wasted potential, of repeating the same day over and over again,
of living a life of quiet desperation. It's the
effect of staying within the same zones of comfort, within
the same capabilities, within the same mediocre habits of action
and thought.
