Isn’t this a tricky question? It is indeed tricky because we have been conditioned to believe the former. So we spend all our lives to chase something to become happy only to realize that the joy we get at the end when we succeed is not what we expected or doesn’t last that long. And because we are in a completely different paradigm, we will not understand that happiness cannot be pursued except from experience. This is when we will understand that happiness brings success. Simply speaking, if I am happy, I am excited, I am feeling good, I will be more motivated and I will accomplish whatever I want while enjoying the process. So the truth is we need to strive all the time to happily achieve not achieve to be happy. It is all about the process not the destination.

🙂 … both!
Thank you for the comment! You are right that both are good and important but our challenge is get out of the trap that getting/ achieving something will make us happy and that happiness is out there. We can be happy right now, at this moment because happiness is within us!
Do we not have to distinguish between physical satisfaction and psychic harmony (or is it interchangeable according to you?) The latter is a state of mind that can be compared with enlightment .. so how many people do you know that are truly enlightened…being just from their very tip of their toes to the last hair on their head … I do not know anybody – real happines is the process – as you correctly state – that everybody should try to reach through justice and philosophy but to do that we should believe in a soul in the first place
Thank you Toni for your valuable comment. Excatly, I believe what you said is very true. Happiness is the process and it is also the result of our alignment with the laws of life most of which are spiritual. As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience”.
