EIGHT KEYS TO HAPPINESS!!

Happiness:  It's a simple word that we all desire.  

This information was from an article by Jonathan Long, CEO, Market Domination Media.  I did add number one so really it is 9 keys to Happiness. Enjoy:      

1. Develop a Great Attitude - It's up to you whether the glass is half full or half empty.

2. Envision the very best - If you want something in life, the first step is to envision it. You will never achieve a goal no matter what you are going after in life: career change, personal relationship, business opportunity or the courage to see those goals happening and believe in yourself.

3. Understand that there is no such thing as perfection - None of us live in a perfect world.  If you think that striving for perfection is so important, you will be running in circles and eventually become disappointed.  Individuals have flaws and business is filled with ups and downs.  So, seek out  GREATNESS, not PERFECTION!!

4. Learn to listen to your gut and heart - We have to make difficult decisions on a daily basis, both in our personal lives and in our heart.  Remember, it is your decisions, not anyone elses.

5. Find your purpose - It is much easier to discover your inner happiness when you get to do something every day for other reasons besides monetary ones.   Many people are happy because they are part of a bigger picture.

6. Surround yourself with other happy people - Relationships in our personal and professional lives fail when there is a toxic individual that is around us.  Someone who makes you smile in your personal life, and build your business with people who are happy is contagious but so is toxicity, so be wise when choosing whom you surround yourself with.

7. Make time for the things and people you love - Time is our most valuable asset, and none of us can buy more of it.  What we can do is be around the things and people we love.  Set aside time for your hobbies and personal escapes that you hold close to your heart.  You will find your inner happiness after releasing your idea that materialistic possessions or the amount of your wealth is the most important.

8. Realize that you are indefinable - There is only one person with the ability to determine what you can do and if you want others to define who you are is just let them.  We all get to define our own existence.  So, take charge and become the person you want to be and happiness will be "beaming" just like mine.

9. Don't point the blame at anyone else - You must have the shoulders to make the necessary changes.  It is not anyone else's responsibility of what is happening in your life.  You are the one who made your choices not anyone else.  You will find inner happiness much sooner  when you 'fess up that you are responsible.
