I went to lunch with a friend and we discussed whether true happiness is a matter of perspective. 

Transcript:

Welcome to Everyday Happiness, where we create lasting happiness in two-ish minutes a day through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.

I'm your host, Katie Jefcoat, and I was talking to a friend the other day. We went to lunch. I mean, how fun is that? I went to lunch with a girlfriend and we were talking about all of the things, and we started talking about happiness and perspective and raising kids and owning companies and having husbands that work a lot. (You know, all the things that girls talk about when they get together.)

We decided the key to true happiness - simply a matter of perspective, which we agree comes from within. So what an interesting concept where happiness isn't about what you do, but about how you feel.

We know that what we focus on grows. So if we're focusing on the good, what we appreciate, our gratitude, it grows.

We then surround ourselves with the good. We have better social connections because we are surrounding ourselves with other people that are focusing on the good.

I wonder what life would look like for you if you truly jumped out of bed excited about living your ideal life, acting the way that you want to feel.

How exciting would that be?

How do we transition into a world where we get to choose happiness every single day?

Now, happiness is definitely a matter of perspective because only we can define our happiness. Whatever is enjoyable to one person may not be enjoyable to another, which is why we are starting a new series that is going to launch this summer, asking you questions, the audience, the people that are listening to this podcast about what makes you happy, how do you define happiness?

What does happiness look like in your world? And I can't wait to highlight all of you. It's going to be so exciting and it is really, really going to be impactful.

So if you're interested in being interviewed by me on this podcast, make sure you send me a DM, and we will be sure to get you scheduled and let you know when your personal episode airs.

Remember, kindness is contagious. So go out into the world and be kind. Share kindness.
