Happiness Is Easy
Here we are again—back to Monday. How do you feel? If you’re excited to get back to work and make great things happen this week, I congratulate you for maneuvering your way into a position of success and happiness. If you’re already wondering how you’re going to make it to Friday, I applaud you for acknowledging those feelings, and I congratulate those of you who are determined to make changes for the better.
Happiness is simple. If you’re there, you know it, just as when you’re in love. And despite how daunted you may feel at the prospect of improvement, getting to happiness is also simple. First, you need to identify what you want. Second, you must take steps every day to move toward your goal. In the process, you will find that your confidence mounts, you meet people who are inspired by you and help you, the stressful parts of your life that weigh you down dissolve, and you build personal fortitude and equity. You have nothing to lose.
You will face challenges and obstacles, but you will learn from those and they will help you build more value. You may work harder sometimes, but you will derive greater joy from that work. It will be a pleasure, and not a burden. Happiness is easy, because every step you take toward it adds new layers of success to your life. It builds upon itself and pushes you along. Once you start the ball rolling, it’s almost impossible to stop it.

One thing I have learned is that if you can be happy when you achieve a goal you can also be happy while you are working toward achieving it.
