Be empathetic yet selfish, agressive and passive at times.
Never talk down to yourself, be the best u can at all times.
Never take things too seriously, never take others emotions too lightly.
Push your way through ill feelings and replace them with happy feelings.
What's missing?

Answer 1

Reason. I cannot for a second find that world you state as being fulfilling. It sounds like a collection of advertising sound bites and if that is the case, forget about it. You can be happy with little of what you mention.

I now revise my answer from Reason, to Everything is missing.

Answer 2

Nobody said you were going to be happy forever. You are making light of some valuable techniques people can use when they need to help themselves out of a bad situation in some cases here. Of course there is something missing. It is partly the individual power of motivation. It is partly the give and take of a support system and the power of love. But whatever pieces you need to fill in, nobody is going to be happy all of the time forever. There will always be some times of sadness in life. That's just practically the definition of life.

Answer 3

Rationality, honesty (self-honesty being primary), a sense of justice, integrity to both your (proper) moral values and to your optional values, self-interest, self-esteem (from your proven ability to do things that support your life, like your work skills, doing well at your hobbies/passions/relationships/ thinking skills), ability to think independently (not rely on others) and courage to do what you know is right.

Answer 4

Believe your Creator put you on this earth for a reason, and all you have to do is ask.

Watch the dvd "The Secret" and learn about the laws of attraction.

Believe in yourself and seek your Creator's Blessings and help so you may know your true calling.

Love yourself first, and then begin to love others as you wish to be loved.
Remember that you can forgive yourself anything, and then begin to forgive others who ever hurt you.

Your education is the only thing that others cannot steal from you. You will always appreciate learning.

Believe in yourself! - Now Go For The Best
Namaste - The Best in Me to the Best in You!

GOD bless us always.

Answer 5

Approach each day with an attitude of curiosity and surprise, so each activity refreshes the spirit.
Always always be brutally honest, willing to confront the hard facts of life, but never place blame on others.
The causes of reality are beyond human judgment.
We perceive the effects of reality, in our experiences.
We owe our perceptions a debt of expression.
Insights -- conclusions drawn from perceptions -- are gifts.
Insights blossom into movements when we share them with others.

Answer 6

Protean murmur...the sound of the stiff bow creaking as it is expertly drawn back in preparation to launch the arrow of longing.

Ask also, what is NOT missing? Terrible, this anxious sound of the creaking bow!

Answer 7

Rationality, honesty (self-honesty being primary), a sense of justice, integrity to both your (proper) moral values and to your optional values, self-interest, self-esteem (from your proven ability to do things that support your life, like your work skills, doing well at your hobbies/passions/relationships/ thinking skills), ability to think independently (not rely on others) and courage to do what you know is right.

Answer 8

What's missing in the list is a purpose to your life.

Answer 9

Your "simple as that" is what Maslow promoted as "hierarchy of needs" during the 60s. What he took off was "spiritual realization" as the apex of the pyramid, in order to make the hierarchy more salable to atheistic academics. In his last year of earthly existence, Maslow, researching the people who'd applied his system, decided people did better with "spiritual realization," so he added it to his "Theory Z," as he called his final system.

The Bible teaches a three-nested spherical Love: Love God completely; within that, add love for colleague as Self; within that, add love as Christ Jesus loves.

Some modern authors who have the same conclusion: Ann Ree Colton, "Men in White Apparel," O. M. Aivanhov, "Man, Master of His Destiny;" Martha Beck, "Expecting Adam;" Free and Wilcock, "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?;" Jim Tucker, M.D., "Life before Life;" and Mark Prophet, "Climb the Highest Mountain."
