I have heard Paul Lowe say that one's aim should be happiness. By this, I am sure that he means not merely the feeling of relief that things are going OK right now, but rather a deep contentment with life, no matter what it brings.
I see the ultimate aim as one of freedom, where one responds authentically to each and every moment, where one puts no limits on oneself, where one does not define oneself in any terms whatsoever.
In fact the word ‘freedom' is misleading, for it suggests the possibility of choice, whereas when one is being fully authentic, one paradoxically has no freedom to choose what to do or how to be – one just is.
