Now I’ve Got A Definition For “Happiness”

All my life I’ve been interested in how humans self-actualize. How we can achieve success in everything we do, become the best versions of ourselves and generally — how to live the best life.

That’s my thing, my mission. It’s why I am here.

And as long as I remember, I always had the problem with the word – happiness. What is happiness? What does it actually mean? You can’t achieve something, if you don’t know what success looks like, right?

“Happiness” — is a vague term. People use it all the time, but just as with “love”, “personality” and “entrepreneurship” — everyone seems to have their own idea about what it should and should not mean.

Last year I started working with a new client — life coach, and for 9 months me and my team were creating and putting content for his YouTube channel. We did interviews with people of various backgrounds: entrepreneurs, artists, corporate managers, life coaches and we asked them the same question over and over: What is happiness for you?

As an executive producer, I was present at all interviews. And, as a result, I’ve heard some very different answers to this question. But one answer stuck in my mind — and I always refer to it whenever I think or talk about the subject of human happiness.

Happiness — is a combination of micro and macro happiness.
