The definition of happiness is to enjoy the consistent every day, persistent without quit, the pursuit of your potential, your truth, your best self. Stop worrying about what other people think, what you don't have, what you don't want, or what's missing in your life. Simply what YOU want. That's the definition of happiness to me. The people who can enjoy the consistent pursuit of their own potential. In order to do that, we need to focus on the four values of gratitude, forgiveness, accountability, and effective communication, and act upon them daily. Most think it's their “why” that's going to make them happy. It's not. It's your “what” you need to know. You need to take inventory every day of WHAT you want. What you want personally, what you want to experience, what you want to give to people, and what you want to receive. Most people have no problem giving, but they have a huge problem receiving, and you can't give what you don't have. There are two currencies in the world. One is money, an object of energy that we put into the flow to get what we want, and the other is faith. Money is important in the pragmatic sense because if you're shopping for the right things like feeding people, building community centers, supporting your family, whatever it is, those are the right things. You can be very, very happy. Here's how the currency of faith works. It's like a GPS of happiness, because not only will faith reroute you when you’re lost, but it will actually change your destination to somewhere better than you can even think of. So, you might have a goal or destination in mind, and then you make a mistake or you have a failure or a setback and by having faith in yourself, you will be rerouted to a better destination than you had planned I know this about myself now. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am happy. I just have to figure out what I am doing to interfere with my health, my wealth, and my happiness. I don't have to go get it, happiness is already a part of me, it's already one with me. It's already there. I just have to figure what I'm doing to interfere with it.
