Satisfaction — What do we mean when we talk about human satisfaction—more specifically, what does it mean to be happy and what makes someone happy? Human beings can seek happiness through the fulfillment of their physical needs (such as good food, adequate rest, exciting adrenalin-filled experiences, feelings of euphoria, etc.), but physical fulfillment by itself is temporary and ultimately futile (disappointing). The more fulfilling and lasting solution is for our soul to be satisfied by a growing intimacy with God.
In this coaching exercise we will explore one aspect of this pursuit of being satisfied; specifically, we will be looking at what it means to “be happy.” |

(NOTE TO COACH: Remember, be careful NOT to correct or even comment on your student's answers, except to say "What else?" if their answer is too brief.) |
