The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We don't own any rights, but we do think they are amazing songs.

What if the crowd isn’t always right? From a time when handwashing was mocked to when tulips were worth more than houses, history reminds us that popular opinion can miss the truth. In this episode, we walk through Holy Week—from Palm Sunday to Easter—uncovering powerful, everyday lessons about faith, purpose, betrayal, perseverance, and hope. This isn’t just a story about what happened then—it’s an invitation to rethink what you believe now, stand firm when the crowd shifts, and discover how even the darkest moments can lead to resurrection.

A couple of quotes from today's episode. "Sometimes we get so busy focusing on the physical that we forget the rest of it all." "Wondering and pondering are vital to really living." This is especially true if we want to live a Happy Life. One of the easiest ways to get to wondering is by wandering. Giving ourselves space to just walk. Not to think. Not to do. To just be.  Because we wonder as we wander, but we don't wander when we wonder.

Happy International Day of Happiness! A lot of people chase Happy. When you chase something it usually runs away. Or, it running away/eluding us is the very reason we chase it. There is a better way however. Do this and Happy will follow you around instead.

St. Patrick's Day, International Day of Happiness and the Paralympics so eloquently tell us that we are all on the same team, team human being. Paralympic snowboarder, Brenna Huckaby's parents told Brenna, “We just want you to find happiness in who you are because you are the gold, and we love you.” Jason Brown, Olympic figure skater said, "When you can embrace and see how much you’re supported and loved, that’s winning." So smile, because your life is Olympic, you are the gold and you've already won!

Olympic Smiling isn't a sport in the Olympics, but if it was, here are my top contenders for the podium. Listen and be inspired as we talk about the Happy of the Olympics, celebrating the start of the Paralympics. There are some great stories in here that will motivate you and increase your Happy!
As Google would tell you...
“The Paralympics are widely considered as, or in some cases more, motivational than the Olympics, as they showcase elite athleticism alongside stories of overcoming immense physical, social, and personal obstacles. While Olympic broadcasts often focus on high-stakes competition, the Paralympic Games are recognized for fostering profound inspiration, and highlighting the extraordinary adaptability of the human body.” - Google

Here is a link for The Nor-Way video we talked about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIi6IqP7-bM

We would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of the song "Mission" that he created for Happy Life Studios. Check out more of his amazing stuff here www.JamesKocian.com or here www.Facebook.com/jameskocianmusic and tell him thanks from Happy Life Studios.

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving them” - Henry David Thoreau. So, what kind of a person would you like to become this year? Many rely on New Year's resolutions to help get them there. Unfortunately, resolutions don't work for a lot of people; search online and find out for yourself. The statistics are staggering. When our resolution attempts fail, we tend to stay the same person year after year. The good news is, WE HAVE A SOLUTION, UP YOUR RESOLUTIONS. Say "so long" to New Year's Resolutions and Upgrade them instead. So up your resolutions and become the person you desire to be this year.

Here are some past episodes that go into more detail on how to create a New Years Theme. Enjoy and become the person you want to be.
