The Problem With Perfect

Are You Really Happy? Here's How to Tell...

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence says these are three examples of unalienable rights given to each of us by our Creator. 

So, what does it mean to pursue happiness? And how do you know when you've achieved it? How do you know if and when you're happy?

It's a simple question that's not so simple to answer. Maybe that's why the internet is full of posts like these: 
Six Ways to be Happy
Seven Happiness Boosters
Eight Happy Nutrients
Nine Tips to Feel Happy
Top 80 Happiness Podcasts to Follow in 2021

In this episode, we ask ourselves this meaningful question, as well as explore how to know if you're happy and how to become happier. Join us for this personal and transparent conversation and in doing so, hopefully you'll become... happier!
