It's the Holiday Season --- a new year is just around the corner! I'll bet you're already thinking about how you'd like next year to be a little different than the last, right? But instead of thinking of performance, and efficiency, and control, I'd like you to take this opportunity to think about how many things in your daily life that you do "just for the joy of it"? What I'm talking about here is value-based happiness (as opposed to temporary happiness). Value-based happiness refers to the general feeling of well being that you experience when you are doing what you perceive to be meaningful — when it's something that's important to you. When you love what you do, you naturally become more efficient. When you do things for the joy of It, you'll rise above problems, and move easier through life. Value based happiness is a by product from living a lifeFocused on the Joy. It is the by product of doing things not for what you get in return, not because you "should" or "have-to", but because you want to, because they are a part of your highest goals, and what you value. Value based happiness comes from looking at things with your heart, not just your eyes. You create value based happiness byFocusing on the Joyof life, instead of constantly looking for the next new thing that might make you feel better about yourself, about your life. So how do youFocus on the Joy? |
