Obtaining happiness doesn’t always have to be about gaining. When we think about things that would make us happy we usually find ourselves daydreaming about things we could add on to life: new house, beautiful car, a great lover, a fancy job, an amazing vacation, etc. But what about the things that we could lose or let go of to find our happiness? Often times, it’s what we already have in our life that obstructs us from finding ultimate happiness. While complete happiness may be difficult to find, given that life always has a few ups and downs, being mostly satisfied (or content) with the way your life turned out can also be a blessing. Here are few things you need to let go of in your life to pave your way through a happiness and success. 1) Pride: Self-esteem is good, but pride is bad. An excess amount of pride will act as a negative force in your life, destroying you, your relationships, and maybe even hurting your success. A person with humility will always acknowledge the f...

The proliferation of articles about happiness as of late has been astonishing. It seems that everything comes in a list format nowadays. “Wash, Rinse, and Repeat” or “Open box, Remove Contents, Try and Assemble”. Maybe it is because when we see things in a list format our brain interprets them as a set of instructions – rules that must be followed. Everybody is coming up with the magic formula for finding happiness. I don’t know about you, but I need to keep things simple and in perspective at all times. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a simple set of instructions for living a happy and fulfilled life? How about an instruction manual for life? Something along the lines of “Enjoy childhood, Explore young adulthood, Engage in a rewarding career, and Enjoy life.” Unfortunately, things are not that easy. That doesn’t mean there aren’t techniques and tips you can use in your everyday life that can help you find happiness and fulfillment as you go through the journey of life. Here’s...

The end of the year is a good time to reflect on your business's progress over the past year and plan how you want your business to develop. Do you want increased success in the coming year or the chance to enjoy the success you've achieved more? These top 10 New Year's tips are designed to help you strike a better work-life balance, so you can achieve a truly satisfying success in this New Year. 1) Learn how to delegate and do more of it. There are so many things to do when you're running a small business, it's easy to delude ourselves that we need to do all of them.

In order to embrace the new, we must release the old. A trapeze artist cannot swing from one bar to another without letting go. An important part of preparing for the New Year is to review the past year—to release it—and to learn from it.… The following questions should stimulate your thinking for this process. I hope that you take time out of your busy schedule this holiday season to ponder where you are and where you've been. Talk with people you care about. Write out your thoughts and feelings. Do some journaling. Consider writing a letter—an end-of the-year-epistle to yourself. It could be profound to write it and valuable to read it in the years ahead. Reflect upon what you did, how you felt, what you liked, what you didn’t and what you learned. Try to look at yourself and your experience with as much objectivity as you can—much like a biographer would. Here are some suggestions to get you started in mulling over the past year—perhaps the last decade. Feel free to add yo...

It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." ― Sarah Dessen "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

Milne "She was ready to deny the existence of space and time rather than admit that love might not be e...

“I’m fulfilled in what I do… I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes — the finer things of life — would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.” – Coretta Scott King “Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.” – Coretta Scott King “Not everybody can be famous. But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. “You have very little morally persuasive power with people who can feel your underlying contempt.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. “What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” – John Lubbock “Figure who you are; then do it on purpose.” – Dolly Parton “Just because you don’t take an interest in politics, does not mean politics does not take an int...
