From hour to hour?

According to Aristotle, everyone wants to flourish. The Greek word he used for flourishing was eudaimonia. This is sometimes translated as ‘happiness’, but this translation can be confusing since Aristotle believed that you could experience, for instance, great physical pleasure without achieving eudaimonia. Eudaimonia applies to a whole life, not just to particular states you might find yourself in from hour to hour.

What does "from hour to hour" mean? Does it mean at any time?

Thanks
