Thread Name: BS: What makes you happy? Fulfilled?
Subject: RE: BS: What makes you happy? Fulfilled?
I agree with Little Hawk. There isn't just ONE thing, and nothing is constantly fulfilling. Having said that, there are certainly times when I witness something or some development or attribute in my child that brings a sense of fulfillment. Digging in the dirt, watching plants thrive, harvesting vegetables can do that. Watching a client discover their own strengths and learn the skills and strategies they need to have more satisfying lives and relationships can be extremely satisfying. Being in good voice and singing by myself in the moonlight, lazing on the beach in the middle of my relaxed, extended family, or sitting in the woods under a big tree in the soft spring light filtered through the emerging canapy, all these things can lead to a strong sense of being very much in the moment and at peace.
