HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY

I have heard 4 times in the past week from people of different walks in life that I am the “happiest person” people have ever met. One asked me to write about that, about what drives me, what inspires me, what makes me who I am etc…which I don’t think lots of people actually want to read about, so instead heres just a little bit of advice on ways I believe I live to encourage happiness into my daily life. It’s obvious to me that because my life was built on a dream world of amazing family, great opportunties and blessings that I am where I am today, and I thank God for that everyday.

Happiness is a choice however, no matter your walk in life, its all about your attitude.


What I do, have done, and continue to work on to strengthen the joy and happiness in my life.
Here’s my advice. Take it or leave it, either way thanks for reading!!! 

1. Wake up in the morning early enough to THINK about what you really want out of that day.
2. This is hard, but LET GO OF ALL EXPECTATIONS, especially for people.When you learn how to do this you will be wonderfully surprised how amazing people and life really are. (this does not however mean lowering your own standards)
3. Really FEEL life out. Cry when you are sad, laugh when you are happy, be in the moment and don’t hold back.
4. Make MISTAKES, because only then will you really ever learn in a way that’s pertinent to your own soul.
5. Love, Love and Love more. Give, Give, and Give more.
6. Focus your life on whatever makes you happy, not anyone else, and don’t ever compare your life to others.
7. Anger for anything is only hurting yourself, Forgiveness is the only way to heal.
8. Really get to know the people in your life that matter to you, Relationships with eachother are what sustains us.
9. If you are a planner make plan, if you aren’t go with the flow, but never contemplate what you are doing, Believe you are exactly where you should be and you will get to where you want to go. View everyday as a stepping stone.
10. Get outside your comfort zone- only then will you truly grow in thought and feeling
11. Stress can build up everyday..be an advocate for your own sanity and find out what you need to manage it.
12. There are moments in life that will be sad, hurtful, confusing etc, don’t try to stop yourself from living them out.
13. Be who you are: if there is something you don’t like fix it, or not, but never pretend.
14. Don’t put too much reliance on others and things to make you happy, in the end you are the only one who will always be there for you.
15. Eat good food and drink good wine.
16. Don’t let your mind stop you from what your body is capable of.
17. Turn off the lights, the TV, the music, light a candle and take a cold shower(im not just saying this because it’s the only thing I have access to!) it will save resources and your soul.
18. Life is not a competition, do what you want, and don’t get ahead of yourself
19. Read
20. Kids will always put a new perspective on things. Embrace them.
21. The more you ponder lifes questions, the more confusing it seems to become. That doesn’t mean to not challenge your own thoughts of why you are here and what you are living for.


You know what makes you happy, whens the last time you sat down and gave yourself your own brilliant advice or actually thought of happiness in that sense?



This might be really silly to read for people with many more years of life experience than I, and I know that all of this will probably seem silly to me too in 5, 10, 20 years too! But if theres anything that will always be true it’s that you are what you settle for and you love how you want to be loved and are happy because of what makes you happy in the moment. Life experience teaches you that all along the way.


Peace, Love and Happiness!!!
