| Eudaemonia=Happiness |
According to New World Encyclopedia, Eudemonism is
an ethical theory which maintains that happiness (eudaimonia) is reached through virtue (aretê).
To modern day English now happiness and virtue can be seen as two very
different things. New World Encyclopedia also
mentions, Eudaimonia, which literally means "having a good
guardian spirit," is often translated into English as
"happiness." All ancient ethical theorists
understand eudaimonia to be the highest human good, but they differ
from one another regarding how to achieve it in its relation to aretê (virtue).
To learn more about what eudaemonism meant in the Renaissance time you
can looking to Aristol's Ethics or Plato's Eudaemonia. Both of
these philosophers had a deep understand of eudaemonia and its
meaning.
I find it very important to be happy in life.
When someone is truly happy emotionally, mentally, and physically
they will simply enjoy life more. When someone is doing what they enjoy they
will find it easier to learn. When it is easier to learn it will bring
happiness. When someone is sad or depressed in life they tend to struggle with
everything. They are in search for that happiness to feel whole again.

Heart and Happiness are key factors in my
life for living the life I want. If I am happy and healthy I will be
content with life. Lately in my life I have been trying to always focus on the
positive side of things. I have learned that I have an incredible
amount that I am thankful for. I have also learned that no matter how
bad the situation there is always a positive side. If I focus on that
positivity I can make my way through any challenges I may face.
