A few years ago, I thought I had it all figured out. Great businesses, multiple houses, a nice car, and a girlfriend.

Then, the 2020 lockdowns came, and in what felt like the blink of an eye, I lost everything.

The result? I also lost my happiness.

Desperate to solve my problems, I turned to mentors, read hundreds of books, and watched countless hours of content from aspirational and wise individuals.

Slowly, I applied what I was learning to my life.

I fell many times, but today, I feel like I am at a place where I am happy again.

Everything I learned is compiled into these 8 simple yet powerful laws.

Within 48 hours, my dad and I booked flights to go to Trinidad to see my grandparents. We had just found out my Aji (grandma) could die at any moment.The goal was to get there on time to say our goodbyes and help with any funeral arrangements.Luckily, she showed us her strength and survived, and continues to live today.I don’t get to see my grandparents often since they live so far away. So, I wanted to take in as much wisdom while I was there.Since my Aji can’t speak, I spent time learning from my 88-year-old Aja (grandpa).Take notes.Every Monday, I send a quick free newsletter about happiness in all forms.
