Happiness is a dynamic and ongoing process, not a fixed state or a singular goal. Cultivating happiness requires intentional effort, meta-cognition, and recognizing emotions as signals, not commands. Key pillars of a fulfilling life that we will explore in this series include: nurturing relationships with family and friends, aligning work with our values, and pursuing meaning through transcendent experiences. As we focus less on ourselves, choose better emotions, and build our lives around what truly matters, we move closer to creating a life filled with grace, purpose, and connection.
