Do something and do it consistently because that builds confidence.

And confidence builds happiness.

So big.

Habit number five, they surround themselves with supportive people.

Oh, my gosh.

Is this a lesson I needed to learn the hard way over and over and over again?

I wish I learned it sooner.

The happiest people in the room are not the most popular.

Happy people choose their circle intentionally.

They spend time with people who lift them up, who challenge them and empower them and reflect the best in them.

They see the best in them.

Joy is amplified in the right community that you have.

But again, if you are surrounding yourself with people that make you feel miserable and you're just familiar with that feeling, they're not friends.

They're just holding you back or you haven't had the courage to speak up yet to create a new agreement with those friends.

A friend is one that knows you as you are.

understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still gently allows you to grow.

The story that I share is it's not about having the most friends.

I've had all the friends in the world, thousands of connections, relationships all over the world and industries.

I had all these connections that I thought were friends.

It's not about having the most friends that doesn't work.
