Active Contentment
I once spent 3 days straight soul-searching for my own definition of happiness.
Happiness doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. But what I ended up with is perfect for me:
Happiness is being content with the stage of growth I'm in.
And today I stumbled across a phrase that feels like the next piece in the existential jigsaw:
Active Contentment.
Passive contentment is like saying "Let it be".
Active Contentment is like saying "Let it grow."
Actively pushing forward. Today is good. Tomorrow can be better.
