Are You Happy Enough?

35 Ways to Find Deeper Fulfillment

Happiness stems from different, personal actions and varies accordingly. First, there exists momentary happiness from activities such as attending a concert, buying new shoes, or completing an essay. Second, there is long-term happiness from accomplishments like getting married, graduating from college, or buying a home. Third, there is happiness achieved from something that transcends one’s self, such as donating money to a cause, supporting a campaign, or helping a friend in trouble.

Heller Keller believed that “True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” Accordingly, the third type of happiness, actualized from giving to others, is the type that will make you ecstatic. If you are happy but just not happy enough, consider involving yourself with any of the following altruistic, or selfless acts—big or small—that will give you an important purpose and deeper fulfillment in life.
