Happiness Index

Number one could be a something along the lines of an individuals relationships with others for as we learned in most of the videos we watched on the science of happiness, or well being, that feeling connected with others is not only important to happiness it is somewhat innate within our own being.  Second could be level of importance one feels.  This of course is vague so it could include maybe importance to ones family, self, the community, or just simply overall in life.  Essentially how meaningful does your life feel.  Third could health with safety somewhat mixed in.  This would be more along the lines of physical health and safety not so much how financially secure one feels.  Fourth could be something along the lines of personal achievement.  Do you feel like you are reaching your full potential?  And fifth and finally could be something encompassing ones surroundings such as are you satisfied with your environment?  I know these are fairly vague and general ideas but its a start.  Picture of Aristotle for happiness.

I found your blog really interesting I think that personal achievement definitely plays a big role in happiness. In order to accomplish achievement I think its important to set some goals for oneself. Also you mention the safety in the environment.. I think that's very important as well, we want to live in an environment where we are safe and feel secure to go about our daily life.
