Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, whole-heartedly, directionally, without reservation or regret.*
William Sheldon

But to be what I am, to live, to want to sound like no one else, to yield the blossoms dictated by my heart: this is what I want and surely this cannot be arrogance.**
Rainer Maria Rilke

You have always been
your destination –
Beyond place and achievement
and recognition –
Though you may never arrive for
you are always becoming
for the sake of others.

*David Brooks’ The Second Mountain;
**Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters On Life.
