life satisfaction
Feeling fulfilled generally
Life satisfaction is a person's overall assessment of how content they are with their life as a whole.
Unlike happiness, which fluctuates moment to moment, life satisfaction reflects a broader judgment about whether one's circumstances, achievements, and relationships meet their own standards: Despite the daily frustrations, her life satisfaction remained high.
The term appears frequently in psychology research and quality-of-life surveys.
