Happiness Is A Destination

By David Ambrose · Comments (0)
Sunday, April 24th, 2011

A short while ago, a wonderful woman who belongs to one of the happiness groups I am associated with said: “Happiness is a journey, not a destination.”

At first, I thought nothing of it. Then it occurred to me that (in my view) this is absolutely not true!

What we need to remember is that a destination is not somewhere we have to stay forever. We all reach many destinations during our lives, and move on to the next. And so we may reach the destination of happiness, and move on to the next level of happiness, and the next, and so on.

Constant happiness is possible. But it takes some Read More→

Remember The Shark…

One of the biggest problems we humans face – and indeed the reason for creating the Happiness Minute in the first place, is our tendency to pause, or stop moving towards our goals.

When was the last time you congratulated yourself on a job well done? You would do well to find something to celebrate about your accomplishments a few times each day.

At first, you may find it difficult to identify anything. If this is the case, make something good happen.

Build on this each day.

Why? You may well ask. There are a lot of ways you will benefit by making it a daily routine to find (or create) something to congratulate yourself for.

Who Is Responsible For Your Life?

By David Ambrose · Comments (0)
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Related to the previous Minute, today we talk about who is responsibility for your life. Here is an Ultimate Truth: Your life is the result of all the choices you make, or don’t make. You may believe that your life is controlled by forces or people, you cannot control, but even accepting this is a choice you have made.

If you are one of those people who feel rudderless, bouncing around without focus or direction, without a passion for life; you can get past this! The single most important decision you can make is to take responsibility for every part of your life.

This can be uncomfortable because it includes all Read More→
