Be Happy | Note 421

Are you pursuing happiness?

 
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
 
First-time readers welcome. Returning readers, you already know. I appreciate you, and I do this podcast for you.
 
Before we jump into today’s note, I want to talk about getting things done. It’s a new year and no better time than now to try new things, and do all the things you said you would do, including starting that podcast, writing that e-book, creating that audiobook, creating Tik-Toks, or launching that course.
 
If you are overthinking any of it, don’t. And whatever you do, do things that make you happy.
 
I read somewhere that trying to be happy can be a recipe for unhappiness. I can’t confirm whether pursuing happiness chases it away, but I know one sure way to be happy is to BE HAPPY.
 
What makes you happy doesn’t make another person happy. But one thing is clear – you control your happiness. It’s your definition of what makes you happy that matters. If you didn’t know, you define your happiness.
 
Do things you love.
 
Do things that make you smile.
 
Prioritize things that feel good and positive. Try all the things you always talked about experiencing. You don’t have to struggle with being happy.
 
Be more grateful.
Be more mindful.
Become more self-aware.
Don’t give up.
 
One sure way to be happier is to get rid of as much negativity as you can. Another way is to figure out what sparks joy for you. And find your why.
 
It’s 2022 and it’s going to be what you make of it. Now is the time to surround yourself with positivity and all the things that make you happy. Now is the time to organize your life around the things that provoke positive emotions.
 
Don’t pursue happiness. Just be happy.
