"Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning"

John Dewey suggests that true joy in life comes from using all of our abilities and effort in order to make the most of each new experience that we encounter. To achieve this, we must strive to comprehend each experience and its private significance in our lives. In essence, happiness is attained by actively engaging with our surroundings and welcoming the worth of every moment.
