Eudaimonic which means purpose and wellbeing. It comes from the Greek word eudaimonium which is related to virtuous and flourishing. If anyone has taken psychology classes if which I have had a handful, it relates to self actualization or having realized your potential and being your best most fulfilled self Are you striving toward eudaimonium?

For the Greek Aristotele, Eudamonia represented the highest good. Thanks for reminding this word.

Some do, but some are content with or see no reason to change the status quo.

That’s a wonderful word if you’re a vowel lover, especially.

Interesting word, I've never heard it before. I'm content but I'm not sure if that's the same as fulfilled.
