are. Take time to discover your gifts, where you
are going, and what you want to accomplish in
your life. Be patient and be courageous. Ponder
your ambitions, make goals, seek mentors and
move carefully, but optimistically forward. There
are many distractions. Why is it important to BE
FORTHRIGHT?
GREEN LIGHT/ GO SHINE BRIGHT without
holding back! Be on the lookout for strangers,
people who don’t know well who also need your
attention, encouragement, support, comfort and
kindness! In small things, great things come to
pass, so SMILE as you make a difference helping
to elevate global happiness!
Research has proven that our happiness is direct-
ly related to two things. #1) The number of close,
personal relationships we have and #2) The FRE-
QUENCY of positive interactions within those re-
lationships. As leaders in our homes, work, com-
munity, the Happier People we are, the more we
can positively influence others! Consider the light,
knowledge, and inspiration you are adding to your
life. These may include reading an uplifting book,
meditation, inspiring music or a movie, prayer,
worship, a walk in nature. The more of these
things we do the brighter our light and the more
we have to share with others. Our Happiness cor-
responds with the light we acquire and share.
If there was ever a time to champion a cause for
elevating global happiness, it is now! There has
never better reason to mobilize happier people,
stronger families to counterbalance the debilitat-
ing pain echoing throughout the human family and
build safer communities. Those who have a natu-
ral happy heart are needed to be leaders. Those
who struggle with depression, loneliness, low self
worth, anxiety, worry, grief, need access to help,
to tools, resources, a cheerleader, or someone in
their court to encourage them, this is my objective
as a Happiness Coach. I issue a clarion call to
all whom this message pulls at their heart to be-
come a philanthropist of random acts of kindness
to people you know need your encouragement.
Get involved. Join me Happiness Warriors, there’s
much work to be done!
Travel Light-Shine Bright,
