Pursuit of Happiness


Scott Schwab
There are many things in our lives that provide happiness and joy. It is important in our lives to distinguish between what is lasting and what is temporary. One persons happiness is not the same as another. This is why I will not spend a lot of time talking about all the things that make me happy personally. One thing I can tell you is that finding what makes you happy will be the difference maker of a full, sustained life and an incomplete life. One thing that we have continued to speak about is doing things in life that naturally make a person happy. Furthermore, there is something that many of us need and possibly take for granted. Friends and lasting relationships is one way that creates happiness and joy. I have realized that in the last little while that you are on a course through life either happy or sad, that is either productive and climbing or not. By having great people around you, a person is able to feel better about themselves and accomplish more in your life. Remember, you become the average of the people that you spend the most time with. Even more interesting is that by taking the people that you hang out with most, you will have a similar financial blueprint. If you want more out of life, look at yourself first and then at your friends. It is very hard to push others up, but it does work in many instances to pull others up. It is apparent that the person must make the decision. If you are not getting all that you would like out of life, take the time to evaluate and then make a decision to place yourself around the people that you would like to be like. I promise that you will be more happy and achieve more in life. How this relates to the health side is simply this; happy people get more out of life in all ways. Happiness is a choice and a great decision to make now, despite what may be looming and swirling in our society and economy.
