Engagement —Full attention on a present activity that absorbs you, leading to a flow state.
Relationships—Realize we are social animals and need other people to thrive.
Meaning —Find your strengths and ways to contribute, or: “why am I on earth?”
Accomplishments —Find realistic goals that add value to your life and of those around you.
