Flourishing

Experts talk about different concepts of happiness.
There is feeling good, and then there is flourishing.

Feeling good is about positive experiences, positive mindset, positive relationships and positive energy; flourishing is about developing oneself, setting and achieving goals, and making a difference to other people.

Flourishing is like a deeper level of happiness. It has a greater sense of purpose and meaning, and impacts on others and not just yourself.
