It is widely accepted that wellness (See What is Wellness) cannot be bought or acquired passively. Wellness is proactively experienced through the pursuit of a lifestyle that results in optimal health and happiness. The term health is more often identified with the passive state of being disease-free or the reactive state of having a health condition. Conceptually, a person could avoid the obvious lifestyle pitfalls and with a little luck still have their health at a particular age. Wellness on the other hand, requires a proactive and informed pursuit. People want to improve their health and happiness, but with all of life's options and distractions, it is difficult to know what to do, who to trust, or where to start. Even people who are already healthy and happy can benefit from additional support, tools and motivation to pursue what they really want out of life.
