“6 Ways to Tell If You are Happy”

“True Happiness Evolves from Challenge”

Are You Growing?

Are You Learning?

Are You Challenging Yourself?

If a person wants to be happy from the inside-out they have to challenge themselves. They need to push themselves everyday… and thus keep learning.

Sometimes as we get older we tend to sit back in our easy chair and not do much of anything. And because of that our brain starts to atrophy, our muscles start to shrink, and we have no reason for getting up in the morning… and thus our purpose on this plane is done.

Happy people came to this plane to help others, to make a difference in peoples lives and to inspire them. Happy people have a purpose and are driven to achieve that purpose. They get up in the morning knowing that today is another great day.

Happy people look forward to the next phone call, the next email, the next interaction with someone who needs their help. And they try with all their might to make a positive difference for everyone.

Happy people challenge themselves all the time. They don’t think about the outcome they just have an idea in mind and start working towards that final goal. Sometimes their goal is attainable, sometimes their goal is never attained. But the process of trying to get there is all that’s important.

Happy people exercise all the time because they know they feel better when they exercise. Happy people know their muscles interact with their hormonal system and thus, in the end, change their brain chemistry. Because when we work out, walk, swim, ride a bike or run we increase dopamine in their brain and they are happy.

Happy people try new things all the time. They may or may not enjoy it, but it’s not about that… it’s about trying something new and it if doesn’t work out… great… if it goes well… great. It’s all about the delight of pushing their limits and trying something outside our limited thinking.

Happy people love getting outside in nature and they tend to do that every single day. It might just be working in their garden, or taking a 5-mile hike, or going for a walk along the ocean. What it is doesn’t matter, it’s all about being closer to God, the Universe, and Great Spirit… that’s all that counts.

Are You Happy?

Many Blessings to Everyone
