Most of us spend our time chasing happiness, while never feeling fulfilled. This is because happiness, as we know it in western culture, is attached to pleasure-seeking; and pleasure, although enjoyable, is short-lived and fleeting. Deeper happiness is found in living a purpose-driven life. When we are living our purpose, we feel fulfilled in our core. Being connected to our purpose brings more meaning to our lives since we are living, in real time, our dreams and ambitions. Even on days when the world is challenging us, we can turn inward and feel our purpose guiding us through difficult moments. Having a purposeful life helps us overcome and be triumphant over adversity. When we succeed, we feel the deep joy and gratitude of knowing our life matters and has purpose. Knowing life has meaning evokes long-lasting happiness. Like everyone, you deserve true happiness.
