The 6th measurement of the happiness yardstick

The journey is long - in fact it takes a life time. We live this lifetime by being present in the now according to some authors - or at least we should be. I tend to agree with this - being clear that we belong in this time, at this moment, with this purpose and under these circumstances no matter what the ups and downs we may experience - this is part of understanding and having a sense of belonging - the 6th element.

For those who remember it - the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" was really all about this sense of belonging or lack thereof. If you never feel as if you belong, it becomes incredibly difficult to find satisfaction in the life you live. At the end of the day, there must be some sense of satisfaction for appreciation of the happiness we have to occur.
