Giving thanks
One of my greatest tips for increasing your ‘happiness quotient’ is to practice mindful gratitude. We must realize that we really don’t need ‘more’. We just need to appreciate what we have. It’s a beautiful and bittersweet way of thinking all at once. We may not have what we want right now, but we still…

Shadows? Some of our biggest problems often only exist in our head. The primary cause of our unhappiness and sense of ‘defeat’ is never the current situation but our thoughts about it. Happiness and success really comes down to two elements: the way we think and the way we act based upon our thoughts.…

Putting a spotlight on
your negative thinking.

One of the most rewarding and important moments in life is the moment you finally find the courage to let go of what you can’t change. When we let go of how life ‘should’ be, we ignite the full potential of how life CAN be from this moment forward. Happiness is ultimately about letting go…

As the year draws closer and closer to conclusion, I’d like to share five powerful questions that yield two wonder-full aspects of life: appreciation and purpose.
