Yep, yep, yep! All great points. I love the point about giving up the grudges and moving in. Lately been reading stuff about successful entrepreneurs too, where they often could sue and get their “just desserts” but instead of fighting, they let it go, and move onto being creative and contributing, rather than getting stuck in a deadlock. I think a great concept is “giving up being right”, something I went through yesterday, where I could have argued my point, because this person was looking to argue and continue a fight, but I just let it go. Once I did that, the resistance dropped and I got to feel alive again.

Hi Imani,

Thanks for stopping by! Opportunities are all around us if we are willing to view things from that perspective. There is also always some form of an opportunity within challenges, even if it’s just learning something we didn’t know before.

Hi Darren,

I really appreciate you reading the blog, and thanks so much for leaving your insight! You piece it together perfectly. Change how we define ourselves and the story we tell, and begin to take action toward a new identity of who we are and what we are capable of. In due time self-growth will become a natural part of our life.

Hi Joe and Judy,

Great list of tips on how to be happy. When we have that inner joy, we can let life’s ups and downs be temporary situations. All are great but I always like this one – “Accept what cannot be changed.” This is one that we should all remember. It is a shortcut to happiness. Thanks, wonderful post.
