As I navigate this course , as well as with the more I read I find myself being grateful for the lessons that I am learning. My first blog post was about how people should be more active into changing their wellbeing, and I could not agree more. I have looked at this subject more closely and honestly feel like I know less that I did then when I started.

The first reading of this course I think is the most important. When it is stated that happiness is a subjective view of well being, a student will not really appreciate the gravity of that statement until they delve deeper into the course and start to see the immense weight of that statement.

I started to think the other day in a rather exestensial matter that I thought would be very interesting to include in this blog post. The question that I pondered was, does a person know when they are truly happy or their subjective wellbeing is at a high level? This thought crossed my mind because when I look back on my own life and I think of incredibly happy times, I didn’t understand how happy I was in the situation or time until it ended. Does one know when they are happy or does it hit them when they have left that state of happened and defended into a less fulfilling point of their life and that is where they realize how god the times where. “You don’t know what you’ve got until its gone,” is the cliche that springs to mind in this instance, but I want to leave this blog post open ended to spur a little food for thought. Begging the question, have you ever realized how happy you where in a situation whilst you where living it?
