The Happiness Formula

In tandem with my drive to write more upbeat stuff, I decided to write about something I came across today:
The Happiness Formula:
Happiness = Health + Money + Social Life + Meaning
= (Sleep + Diet + Exercise) + (Cash + Stuff + Assets) + (Family + Friends) + (self-actualisation --> self-transcendence)
[In case I infringe copyrights, here's where I lifted the tidbit - http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/03/25/more-on-goals-and-the-meaning-of-life/)
Actually I think its really very relevant to all of us. Out of the 10 items in the simplified formula, how many can you really say are being religiously followed by you? For myself, sleep isn't much of a problem - now - so is diet, exercise is a wee bit problem, cash is a BIG problem (lol), much of my 'stuff' are not really mine, I have little in 'assets', not a big fan of my family, getting a little distant with 'friends' but i hope that will be improved with ORD (whee!). I'm far far away from seeking meaning in life. So I guess I score somewhere around 4 - 5 points out of 10! Oh man, now that makes me really sad (ironically, its called the happiness formula). How about you people out there?
p.s. the blog is quite interesting. too bad there's no SG version. It will sound more close to heart (and convincing too).
