Eudomonia.

It’s a funny word. And right now, it’s one of my favorite words.

In terms of etymology, eudaimonia comes from the Greek word eû (good) and daimōn (spirit). Or good spirit. In everyday usage, it generally translates to happiness, welfare, or flourishing.

Put simply, eudaimonia is the act of living well, of flourishing. Something we all hope to achieve.

Yet, so many of us, so often fail to achieve that aim. Too often, we flounder instead of flourish.
