A few weeks ago, I was asked: What does happiness mean to me?
My response was simple yet deeply resonant: Happiness, to me, is the art of embracing a life suffused with desire and passion across every facet, while avoiding the shadows of contempt.
It’s about actively pursuing what excites and inspires me, whether it’s in my career, relationships, hobbies, or personal growth.
In other words, my perspective on happiness reflects a commitment to living authentically and avoiding contempt, which often arises when we lose touch with our passions or settle for a life that doesn’t align with our true desires.
What is happiness for you?
