For Emerson an essay on life would not be about happiness. He said on that subject:

”The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well".

For others their meaning for life will point to different experiences and maybe one of the ones they choose will be happiness. Life is defined different by each person even if they don’t know the answer as to what happiness is, their search for an answer is what their life is about.

The experiences each person has brings with them connections to the past and links to the future. When we look back at our experiences we see them through the lens of all our experiences and we see them differently each time. The ability to adjust, evolve, develop skills, and embrace change as we progress through life determines just how much we achieve both inside and outside of work

One thing is certain. Change happens*. Breathe in the Amazing and hang on through the challenges.
