OUR goals; OUR happiness!

At any point in time I am often working on my goals or helping others achieve their goals. Sometimes I do what makes me happy. Sometime I do what makes others happy. Sometimes both. Fun days and Kind deeds can be win- win.

Are you working on YOUR goals?
Are you doing what makes YOU happy?

This week; have a think about that!

Recently I’ve been working on demanding goals and yet I’ve found myself side tracked and distracted helping others achieve their goals. Did I need to? Did they need me to succeed? No and no!

“Learn to focus Phil! Learn to say no. And ‘do’ no. Let others do it themselves, learn themselves, fail, achieve, grow, help themselves!”

Some deeds can be win-win
Some deeds are win-lose (we LOSE out on our goals, our happiness, our time)

Whose goals are you working on this week?

Have a happy YOUR GOALS week!

Keep positive!

Be brave! The secret of happiness is courage!

“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.”
-Thucydides, Ancient Greek historian and author, 460-404bc

This week; have a think about that!

”Studies show people regret not having done things much more than they regret things they did. Why? We can rationalise an excess of courage more easily than an excess of cowardice, because we can console ourselves by thinking of the things we learned from the experience. We hedge our bets when we should blunder forward. In fact, large-scale assaults on our happiness – a lost job or failed marriage – trigger our psychological defences (and hence promote our happiness) more than smaller annoyances. The paradoxical consequence is that it is sometimes easier to achieve a positive view of a very bad experience than a bad one. And yet we rarely choose action over inaction. Knowing we overestimate the impact of almost every life event makes me a bit braver and more relaxed because I know what I’m worrying about probably won’t matter as much as I think it will.”- Daniel Gilbert, Harvard University

Have a happy BEING BRAVE week!

Keep positive!
