Buenos días,

El término consultado no aparece muchas veces en el texto fuente, solo hacen referencia a éste de manera enunciativa; sin embargo logré encontrar dicho término en internet:

Es tiempo de profunda reflexión, oración y acción. Es momento de darse cuenta que la vida es maravillosa y sagrada. Partiendo de esa base, Arturo decide edificar de su pasado y convertirlo en un verdadero manantial de aprendizaje en el presente, y así contribuir, no solamente a su propio bien-ser y bien-estar, sino al de sus hijos, y el entorno que lo rodea.

Explanation:
the problem is that in Spanish, from Latin, there are two separate verbs "essere" and "stare", but in English there is only one "BE" for both. This discrimination "ser" vs. "estar" is very much related to Rodolfo Kusch's philosophy and anthropology of Latin America.

Explanation:
The distinction does pick up on a temporal vs intrinsic slant. I am just throwing this in as it is fascinating and just might reflect the writer's intention
