Sustainable Excellence Xtras #51 - Sleep One Night In The Shirt Of A Happy Man

How often do you have that feeling of being anxious or down? We all have days from time to time when we feel glum and dejected.

But how do we get out of that funk when it presents itself in our life?

What makes you happy? Would it be more money, living in a nicer house, or driving a nicer car? Maybe it would be having better health, a more attentive family, or friends that brought a little less drama to the relationship.

Whatever material things you believe would make you happy, understand that genuine happiness is a state of mind. Nothing external will provide you with true happiness and nothing you don't possess should prevent you from being happy.

To find happiness (and we all deserve to be happy) focus on what you see when you look around. If you expect to see the worst in people and circumstances, that's most likely what you will observe, but if you expect to see the best in people and circumstances, you will tend to see that as well.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.  Our preconceived thoughts and ideas can dramatically alter the way we perceive the world.

Take a few minutes and watch this video that tells the story of a king who consulted the court sage as to how he should rid himself of his anxiety and depression.

​Please leave me a message about the things that make you happy and what you expect to see when looking at others.
