Last week on the show "Will the Real Happy please stand up..." I spent some time digging below the surface of a very commonly accepted idea: happiness is inside you. Very few people would quarrel with that idea anymore. We seem to have a sense that we can't find happiness outside ourselves, but guess what? We look anyway. As I heard this week. "I know money doesn't buy happiness but I'd like the chance to find out for myself!"
The way to find out about happiness could well be to become a gazillionaire and see, but between now and then, there's lots you can do to understand what happiness is for you. The show looks at these, and you also have two archive shows with Robert Holden (on June 5th and July 24th) exploring the 10+ Keys to Happiness. Great shows.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to explore this right now, here are some questions for you to journal on or think about:
What are the top 5 lessons on happiness your life has taught you so far? For each one....
How has it influenced your life?
How well have you learned it?
And you might want to take on a practice for the week to notice
When you are at your happiest
When you feel most alive / on purpose
Let me know how you go...
