It has been stated that America has had an increase of average household income every year since the 1980’s and the happiness level has stayed the same. It has only been recently but everywhere you look there is Yoga classes, spiritual teachers coming in town, increase in gym membership. From studies and observing human behavior fulfillment comes from who you become on the inside and contributing to something you care about. In a way the idea that happiness comes with more success is a half-truth, it’s about both fulfillment and success.
I recently heard a great speaker talking about how the two parts of life that we have to balance the Science of Achievement and the Art of Fulfillment. The reason that Achievement is a science is that it’s measurable and predictable based on the laws that you follow (e.g. Law of Averages) but Fulfillment is an Art cause it is based on the individual. In other words what fulfills you might not fulfill the next person. He was stating that countless books and seminars have been devoted to the Science of Achievement but the place where society is moving is towards understanding the Art of Fulfillment.
