Happiness in Middle Age

What does it mean to be happy in middle age? Is there even a way to measure this kind of happiness? The issue is that as we age, our goals and self-awareness change. Happiness varies due to many factors such as health, family, friends, and sense of purpose, so there is no single standard for everyone. We need a model to gauge the happiness that our inner selves feel.

As we age into middle age, we need our own standards of happiness. There’s no need to compare with others, nor is there a one-size-fits-all reason. The “Mutants” use the benchmark of “better than yesterday” and celebrate. What you hope to improve on and what the goals and benchmarks are, these are things you can only determine for yourself.
