Every once in a while we all need to take the time to do some self-reflection and evaluating in our lives. Maybe you aren’t as happy as you used to be or just can’t find that happy moment in your life that used to be there. You might ask yourself:
How can I find happiness? Try looking at the little things- the first word from your child, a beautiful sunset or something else that while seeming to be small can bring a smile to your face even for just a minute.
Am I looking for the happiness that is in my life? There may be a hidden “gem” in your life that you hadn’t even thought brought you happiness. As with the last question, it can be found in the smallest things….and when you least expect it.
Do I focus only on the negative events in my life? This isn’t to say there won’t be negative moments in life- it’s just a part of the overall human experience- but you can choose how negative events affect you and look for the positive ones.
These are just a few of the questions you might ask yourself when it feels as though there is little or no happiness in your life. Remember to take the time and reflect as well as enjoy those happy moments. You may even want to make a happiness journal in which you write down one or two things that made you happy that day. Then when you have a low moment in your day, you can pull out your journal and reflect back on that event that made you happy.

Being positive whenever possible makes you and those around you feel good. How can you do that? The following acronym should give you some ideas.
P – People. What kind of people are you surrounding yourself with? Try to be around those who are positive and avoid negative people whenever possible.
O – Optimism. Find the optimism in your life even if it’s a small thing.
S – Smile. Something as simple as that can change your mood from negative to positive in a matter of seconds. You can also contribute to someone else’s well-being by smiling. It just might brighten their day!
I – Interest. Find something that interests you and makes you happy. It could be learning to crochet, scrapbooking, horseback riding, puzzles…the list is endless. You might even find something that interests your child or teach them something and that will bring you both some happiness.
T – Try. This may seem simple, but if you try to be positive as much as possible, it can be pretty amazing how quickly things change in your life.
I – Inventory. Take inventory or stock of your life and circumstances and find the positive things that are there.
V – Vacate. Put more simply, leave areas or situations where there is negative talk. This will help you to keep your positive attitude!
E – Endure. Endure trials and challenges that come into your life. This isn’t always easy, but if you can find even one positive thing while you endure, then that is something.
Hopefully the above ideas will help you to stay positive. They are by no means a complete list nor does everyone have the same circumstances.

Accepting large-scale change into our lives is often a challenging and disheartening process. When our world falls apart, all of our hopes and dreams seem to crumble along with it. As we crash head-on into these unforeseen changes, we spiral downward blindly into the vast unknown, breaking into bits, before we have the strength and the courage to rally forward once again.
So many of us, at this point in time, are facing major, sometimes catastrophic change. But is this a bad thing? Maybe not. You see, beneath the facade of a crumbling world, there is a grand opportunity to recreate your life in a way that serves you, supports you and honors you. You are completely in charge of your destiny and your happiness. And life, in all its seeming mystery, will lead you to the doorway of fulfillment, consciously or unconsciously, whatever you choose.
Embrace the grace of change, not as a punishment or a random act, not because you think you did something wrong, but as a moment of opportunity to recreate, a moment to re-choose happiness, the kind of happiness that serves you and that honors you.
What is your H-Factor? Do you know? If you choose consciously, respecting and honoring all that you are, you choose happiness naturally and easily. Your H-Factor emerges like a brilliant spark of light from out of the confusion and darkness. Truly, this process of change and challenge is a beautiful unfolding, a great unfolding into your true essence and deepest happiness.

Happiness can be likened to hidden treasure – and just like you would use a map to seek that treasure – you can seek happiness in life.
The biggest question you are faced with when seeking happiness is how? How do I find that small nugget of happiness in a chaotic life? Do I even have happiness in my life? Sometimes we can’t even see it.
Just like someone looking for gold or some other treasure, you have to dig for it and keep searching until you find it. Put in a simpler way – you have to look for it. It doesn’t have to be a big event that makes you happy either. It could be that your child learned to tie their shoes by themselves or that you stopped and took in the sunset at the end of a long day…and it made you smile. Maybe you helped someone and they thanked you for it.
It all starts with you! You have to be willing to open yourself up to finding those previously hidden “nuggets” of happiness. Take the time to recognize and appreciate those moments in your life. You can even share your happiness with a friend or someone else in your life that you are close to if you want – they will be happy for you. This keeps the happiness going and your sharing it contributes to someone else’s happiness and well-being.
Make the choice now to seek the happy moments in your life. They are there if you take the time to look.
Are you ready to transform your life? Are you ready to open your arms and bring an abundance of joy, love, happiness, success and material wealth into your life? Are you ready to start living the life you want, not the life you have?

Your outlook on life and overall well-being can be linked to your perspective. It goes back to the old question, Is the glass half full or half empty? What lens am I going to look at my life through? Will I choose the lens where I see the positive and cope with the negative to the best of my ability or the lens where I see the negative and can’t find the positive in my life?
In his talk The Last Lecture, Professor Randy Pausch talked about perspective and how to look at situations in life by introducing the Tigger vs. Eyeore debate. He said that people could choose to either be a Tigger – a person who looked for the positive things in their life and had a “bounce in their step” so to speak or they could be an Eyeore – and look at the negative things in life.
Yes, Professor Pausch dealt with a lot when facing his pancreatic cancer- and I am sure there were many days when he was nearly beaten down to his knees – maybe even wanting to take the Eyeore outlook on whatever he was going through, but somewhere inside himself he was able to get back up and look at everything from the Tigger perspective.
There may be days when it seems nearly impossible to find any positive thing in your life and it isn’t always easy, but you can choose how you perceive whatever you are facing. You can decide which side of the Tigger or Eyeore debate you are on. After all, happiness is an inside job.
Are you ready to transform your life? Are you ready to open your arms and bring an abundance of joy, love, happiness, success and material wealth into your life? Are you ready to start living the life you want, not the life you have?
