When asked what makes life meaningful, happy and fulfilled, there are many answers. When I was asked this yesterday, I noticed from my experience, two essential "Ways to Happiness": a receptivity and creativity.
receptivity is the ability to live deliberately, to acquire something: listen to music and feel in their melodic and rhythmic structures, enjoy art form with their games, managed to read texts formulated to recognize relationships of all kinds, a impressive landscape experience, made love to know appreciation received ...
creativity is once again the ability to create, to shape something: a piece of music, a painting, a sculpture, a text, a garden, love gift, appreciation ... a lesson, a conversation, a business degree, a work piece ...
lies in the change of receptivity and creativity happiness. Only one or the other would be too one-sided. Only receptivity leads to the "Gammer Life", only creativity to burnout (By the way: in a Depression is both abilities lost and can - usually by medical attention - recovered only slowly be. Since no help advice for luck).
I think of how the behavior of God's first creation account in Moses is described 1/Genesis first He is creative and is left to the created things: he looks at it and is it very good. On the seventh day he rested, sanctifies the Sabbath as a day of receptivity.
