Who are some good examples of a eudaimon? I want to reach this level of being one day.

No Aristotle readers here? Thats unfortunate

Eudaimonia is a personal state of mind, which you cannot lie to yourself about. Whereas to others a mask may always be present, regardless of intention. And futhermore, it appears not to be a permanent state but a temporal.

when i have a full water jug and food in my pack and some money in my pocket and nothing but fair weather in the forecast, i can walk down the road without worries under power of my own legs breathing in the air,, i become eager and curious to face each new day to see where fate takes me

how long do these phases last? Aristotle himself said this not a thing that lasts a day, but naturally you cannot be happy all the time.

I would guess the key is to be more happy than not. And in summation at the end of your days, you can say you were happy.

not an easy task. Il see what i can do though. This book (Nicomachean ethics) has been amazing to read so far, looking forward to getting even more out of it.
