(hobby, career, group interactions). Our passion initiates
self-fulfillment, which brings us contentment, and a sense of achievement that enhances our life purpose. This drives us to continue to follow our passions, hopefully in a healthy way.

help us to feel like we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Also, our actions matter. We have a deeper sense of life fulfillment and long-term happiness. Our lives have meaning, now we have found our calling, True happiness, self-contentment-self-confidence, and self-worth.
