What does happiness actually mean?
In the first 139 episodes of my show, this was the “final question” I’d ask:
What does happiness mean to you today?
Here’s why I loved that question:
I’m incredibly grateful to have interviewed people who have lived FULL lives.
- The man that invented the cell phone…
- A decorated air fighter pilot…
- People who have sold millions of copies of their books…
… the list goes on and on.
And, at the end of the day, putting aside ALL accomplishments… we just want to be happy, fulfilled, and living meaningful lives.
But what does happiness actually mean?
In asking this question over and over, I heard some INCREDIBLE responses, and I want to share some of them with you today.
In today’s episode, we compiled 25 (yes, twenty five!) different responses to the happiness question.
My hope is that by hearing these responses, it will challenge you to answer the question YOURSELF…
… and to relentlessly pursue the things that bring you true happiness.
