Happy people are more likely to: have more friends, get sick less, enjoy their work, have better performance evaluations, sell more, make more money, and experience less burnout.
Happy people have better relationships, less loneliness, have more social activities and are less jealous.
Happy people are more likely to be healthier, have less hospital visits, volunteer more and are more grateful.
Happy people feel better, do better and live longer.
Who wouldn't want that?!
The big question is HOW do we become happier?

Perception is based on what you are feeling rather than what is really going on. I really believe that this is the cousin to the law of attraction. So if you're basing things on what you're feeling and you're tired and you're grumpy and you're thinking everything sucks, guess what, that's what's going to happen.
Learn to hear your fixed mindset voice. You know what, those limiting beliefs?
We have the tendency to marvel at national talent and overlook the importance of effort.
Recognize that you have a choice.
Thoughts To Ponder:
Don't label things as good or bad, We just need to stop labeling. If you label things as bad, it feels bad.
What is a great life? A great life is just the accumulation of a bunch of great days and what is a great day The accumulation of a bunch of great moments and great moments are of joy and finding the lesson and overcoming and detachment. Whether you believe you're meant for something better or you believe it's the end of the world, you are right. It's just what you believe.
(I think) What holds people back a lot from their purposes, they think they're not good enough for it. And they're looking to be perfect at it before they can go out and say it's their purpose. I want to have really deep and enriching relationship... I want to laugh with people, I want to grow with people, I want to challenge them. I want them to challenge me, Um, I just want to spend time getting to know people. And so anyway, that's my definition. I believe it's more important to live your life on purpose. And with purpose than it is to know your purpose. So don't keep beating yourself up if you don't know what it is.
