I don’t mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I’m sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 6.
I’m in a very pleasant phase of my life. I’ve had a rollercoaster life with some deep lows in my twenties and thirties. But ever since I hit 40 my life has been much better. Stable job, stable relationship, stable home, in good health. Solid 8. But with very clear career and relationship goals, so ask me again in 10 years.
