Happiness and fulfillment are closely related concepts. Happiness is often seen as the emotional state of feeling joy, contentment, and satisfaction, while fulfillment is a deeper sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from living a meaningful and purposeful life. In the context of positive psychology, happiness is often linked to positive emotions, engagement in activities that bring joy, and having positive relationships. On the other hand, fulfillment is often associated with finding meaning and purpose in life, achieving personal growth, and contributing to something larger than oneself. Both happiness and fulfillment are important aspects of well-being, and they often go hand in hand. While happiness can be more fleeting and tied to specific events or experiences, fulfillment is a more enduring state that comes from aligning one's life with their values and finding purpose.
