"If you ask people, 'What is your passion,' they often freeze. They feel as if they have to give an amazing answer like 'Feed the world's orphans.'" Define your happiness. Create a personal definition of happiness that aligns with your values and priorities. This definition serves as a compass for decision-making and helps you recognize happiness when you experience it. Assess your current state.
