Happiness is a sense of well-being and pure electrifying joy, that intense sparkle that caresses your being, the fire that burns inside and a sense of fulfillment that you find in your life. We are all in the pursuit of happiness… we may find it early in life, later or never.
But isn’t happiness just how we perceive life? Some may find happiness in the simple things, in a quiet life, some may seek the glamor and torment of big cities, so the true question is what makes YOU happy?
There are three key elements that make us happy:
- PLEASURE – finding joy in the things that you do, that’s why it is important to do what you truly love 🙂
- ENGAGEMENT – feeling true connection with the people around you, meaningful relationships, the desire to learn and a true interest in what you do
- MEANING – this is my favorite one and probably the hardest to achieve – feeling that YOU matter, that your work matters, that you have a PURPOSE
