The emerging science of happiness...

A very wealthy client of mine, with more possessions than most of us have together, came to me again yesterday, complaining of his ongoing unhappiness, emptiness, lack of connection to others. all his words, not mine....

Seems the more we 'get' in this society, the emptier we somehow feel. Know what I mean?

Happiness is not just being in a good mood, or experiencing joy once in awhile.

Happiness is not a mood. Happiness is not an emotion.

Mood is biochemical...for more see www.coaching-forlife.com

Emotions come and go frequently changing.

True happiness comes when you open yourself to the optimistic possibility that in every moment of life, good or bad, hard or easy, scary or safe, there is something to learn, a direction to grow in, and an exciting possibility of something to come.

True happiness, peace and life come in living the life that is offered to you everyday, instead of fighting what life provides.

If you look around you will find more to be happy with, than to fight with.

Unless of course, you simply prefer to fight...

a list of some components of happiness:
Love
Optimism
Courage
Freedom
Health
Security
Spirituality
Altruism
Servant attitude
Humor
Purpose
Appreciation

Think of these, meditate and pray on these, work toward these.

Work toward happiness, put all of your energy, thoughts and actions toward happiness. Spend not one more minute of your life, unhappy. Its your life after all, you choose....

Peace,
Juli
