What Is Happiness?
Virtue, happiness, and tranquility are not separate or distinct experiences but co-emergent states. Happiness is commonly mistaken for passively experienced pleasure or leisure. That conception of happiness is good only as far as it goes. The only worthy object of all our efforts is flourishing life.
True happiness is a verb. It is the ongoing dynamic performance of worthy deeds. The flourishing life, whose foundation is virtuous intention, is something we continually improvise, and in doing so our souls mature. Our life has usefulness to ourselves as to the people we touch.

What makes you happy?
For some this is a daunting question, for others it is obvious. Either way, your happiness matters. If you’re not doing things that make you happy, you’re doing the exact opposite. It’s not that complicated.
Happiness is always there to lead us toward a life that fulfills our individual needs. If we live a life that doesn’t fit with our core values
and doesn’t fulfill us, every facet of our life becomes a burden. So, the less your current lifestyle fits with your core values, the more frequently your fight or flight system is active. The important guiding truth is that happiness is an essential feature of genuine lasting health. This core pillar is designed to show you how to create and undertake the deep introspective study and intention to discover what makes you truly happy.
