Maura Sweeney: Living Happy Inside Out | Storytelling | Inspiration | Personal Growth

How can we navigate well in a world that thrives on the polarity of winners and losers? This podcast sets aside for a few moments our collectivized mindset and the acquired need to self-protect against the many "others" out there that we perceive.

There is another way to view the seminal question: Who won? We'll take a look at different viewpoints, stories and paradigms in search of something bigger, higher, greater and better for all of humanity.

If you need an uplifting new perspective, expect to emerge with a brighter and more empowered outlook. It may require a bit of faith and vision, but you can anchor some of it to live happier, from the inside out.

Then, listen in as we hear from Trey Downes from Baltimore, Maryland who shares what makes him happy from the inside out, too.

Are you employing your most powerful weapon? If you're on a path to living happy from the inside out, you'll want to know what this weapon is – and how to use it!

The powerful weapon is choice, the choice to forgive. If you have suffered emotionally, physically, financially or otherwise, exercising the power of forgiveness is your key to peace and happiness.

Listen as I share how I discovered and triggered this personal weapon, even as a young child.

You'll hear an alternate story of another woman who chose to withhold forgiveness instead. Muse over a few unpleasant and confining outcomes that occur when we choose not to release forgiveness.

Wherever you are today, I urge you to listen in to this insightful and profoundly personal message. Choosing the power of forgiveness may be difficult, but the benefits we receive are bountiful!

We're often waiting for happiness to "happen" to us. But can we do something on our end to facilitate those good feelings and a sense of well-being?

In this podcast, I share many upbeat synonyms for happiness and contrast them with a few antonyms – to include the word sadness. Listen in as I share on at least one occasion how I made an affirmative choice to step away from sadness and chose happiness and hope for myself.

Make some of your own connections with feelings of happiness and choose a more empowered path for yourself, too. Don't forget to listen to our special guest who shares how she lives happy from the inside out, too.

Have you ever experienced loss, only to discover you'd gained?

Most of us try to avoid loss, even when we're bored, unhappy, in pain or in a present state of discontent. We consider loss as a negative proposition and can be tempted to see such losses through a limited and disappointing lens.

In this podcast, I share three types of "losses" I've experienced over the years. Then, I demonstrate how each loss transitioned into several types of unexpected, personal gains.

Regardless of the type of loss you might be facing, may you feel inspired to see circumstances through a broader, brighter and more hopeful personal lens.

Then, listen in to Christina from Brooklyn, New York.

Are you preparing for success or waiting around for it to happen?

In this podcast, we examine an old adage: Success happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Often, we wish for our success and long for seemingly elusive events.

However, we overlook the fact that luck most often occurs when our intentions, efforts and activities point us toward a desired end. We can either be passive hopers or actively engaged doers as we prepare for the positive outcomes we hope for in life.

Listen in to three stories about turning hopes and dreams into realities. As you do, feel inspired to discover how the process of preparation is good for us on a number of levels. Perhaps most importantly, preparing for our future success ultimately makes us happier from the inside out.

Most of our personal conflicts and greater social problems arise out of fear.

In this podcast, I discuss the two ultimate, yet polarized, human emotions: one is love and the other is fear. Love is our birthright and our natural state of wholeness, peace and harmony where vitality continually flows.

The second emotion, fear, exists on the opposite side of the emotion spectrum. Fear obscures our true life, seeking to avoid, protect and limit rather than allowing us to extend and grow.

Discover some ancient words of wisdom that remain timeless and telling for us today. Then expect some guidance on how to step beyond fear and pass through to the love and life within that longs to wake us up to something better, brighter and freer.

In this podcast, I also offer a special gift that should make you smile. Find out how you can get a free copy of my Art of Happiness book on Values by writing Maura@Maura4u and referencing this podcast.

Finally, meet former NFL player Mark Pattison and now Find Your Summit podcaster as he shares what makes him happy from the inside out, too.

If you have ever restricted your own ideas on life and are looking for inspiration that leads to abundant vision, listen in.
