Telos

One of the key parts to living a full, harmonious, and great life – according to Aristotle – is to become an excellent human being. What does it mean to be an excellent human being? To have developed your rationality in line with truth and to have developed the virtues of prudence, generosity, courage, honesty, wit, friendliness, temperance, and magnanimity. Which ones are you working to develop?

Eudaimonia

Commonly translated as "happiness", it's helpful to think of this as 'flourishing', 'thriving', or 'living your best life'. "Eu" is good and "daimon" is a god/spirit that watches over you. So if you live a eudaimonic life, the gods/spirits are watching over your life well :)
