Happiness is a dynamic emotion, not a destination or formula. Research links it to creativity and decision-making, showing that happiness can fuel success rather than being just an outcome of it. While criticized by some as an elusive goal, happiness is best seen as an emotion needing regular “fuel” from our thoughts, habits, and actions. Momentary joys fade, but a mindset that nurtures happiness through gratitude, relationships, and value-driven actions creates sustainable well-being. Happiness is a journey, and there’s always more to discover.
