EMF2.16The Definition of Well-being

Defining well-being is hard, which is one of the reasons it's so tricky to explain, let alone achieve. Think Long-Term. Take time to think about what's fundamentally important to you. Friends, family, and your health should make your list. A nicer apartment, or a better car really shouldn't. It's okay to want to achieve things in life -- but material things should always be secondary. Surround yourself with individuals who add value to your life and with whom you can be yourself. To take a long-term view, knowing what you'll look back on and be proud of when you're old and gray will help you to prioritize what you should be focusing on now. Stop Waiting and Start Doing. It's a cliche, but happiness comes when you least expect it.
