Happiness Today

Throughout my years of coaching and one on one counseling with friends and family, one of the most often mentioned issues is a lack of happiness.

There are so many people that focus on their pasts or that are too worried about their future. The truth is, that those who focus on the past will be depressed, and those who fear the future will have anxiety.

In order to find happiness in this life, there are several factors that have to be considered. And if you are not happy right now, then it is time for you to reflect on these things and determine where you can and are willing to make changes.

• Live in the Present
• Do What You Love
• Forgive Those Who Caused You Pain in the Past
• Leave the Future in God's Hands
• Focus on What you Can Accomplish Today
• Improve Your Spiritual, Emotional, Mental and Physical Health
• Get Enough Sleep
• Learn to Relax
• Turn Daily Stresses over to God
• Express Gratitude/Count Your Blessings

Living in the Present

One of the best ways to live your life is to realize that you only have this moment right now in time. Your past is over and done with. It is gone. Your future is not guaranteed, so live today as if it is the only day that you have.

Having this mindset changes how you will interact with others. It helps you prioritize much faster. Those things that fall off your priority list, should stay off of it. 

Do What You Love

Our God is an awesome God! He has created us with all the tools that we need within us, we just have to find them and nourish them. When we waste our life and energy by investing it into the things that we hate, we become unhappy. This emotion is our body's way of letting us know that what we are doing is not in harmony with the way that God created us to be. 

There are things that can bring people temporary pleasure in this life, and that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about those things that don't have negative side effects, that have long-lasting value and happiness to us. Whether you love art, music, science, technology, math, movies, or whatever, all those drives are there for a reason! Create something with them. Use them to help others, and use it in your career choices or in creating your own business. Love what you do so much, that you have no problem spending hours doing it! That is hwo you know that you are doing the right work for you!

Forgive Those Who Caused You Pain

Many people struggle with this one because they harbor resentment and feel that the person who hurt them does not deserve to be forgiven. Forgiveness is not for the person who hurt you, it is for you. By choosing to release those negative feelings and no longer hold on to them, you will be happier. You must kick out those feelings of pain, anger, bitterness, resentment and so forth to make room for happiness. As we begin to heal, our perspective on the situation and our life changes.

Focus on What You Can Accomplish Today

In today's world, it is easy to become overwhlemed with all that we need to get done for work and home life alone, let alone anything that our church, extended family or friends may ask of us. It is a good idea to focus on what can be done today. 

No one should over burden themselves with tasks. They should be willing to say no when they honestly do not have the time or energy to full y invest in what is being requested of them. That said, it will bring happiness to do something each day to help someone else. And these things can be simple. A word of encouragement, a smile, a hug or something much more meaningful to them. When we help others, we feel happier. And many times we realize that we are not alone in struggling in life, and that there are people going through things that make us grateful for our trials.

Improve Your Health

The number one complaint I hear is how much people want to change who they are. They want to lose weight, they want to be thinner, taller, more built whatever. And it is fine to want those things, however, no one should lose love for themselves in the process.

By taking the time to increase your whole body health, you will be happier. Taking care of yourself, let's you know that you love you. That you are awesome just the way you are, right in this moment. God loves you as you are right now. Even with all of your percieved weaknesses and your struggles, his love your you has no conditions, limits or bounds. You should not have any limits on your love for yourself either.

By taking the time to love yourself, you will be better equipped to love and serve others, and focus on the work that you have chosen to do. Whether in the office, at home or in the community. When you love yourself, you have an abundance to give to others.

Express Gratitude Daily

This *IS* the fastest way that you can improve your level of happiness. When you take the time each day to think about your blessings and all that you are grateful for your mood changes within a few minutes. When something happens that just sets you off, try to turn it on its head. Look for the silver lining, or the good in it. 

Some examples are when you are standing in a long line at the post office, see it as a time to just take a break from your daily to do list. Use it as a time to think about what you are grateful for, and it can start with something as simple as being glad that you do not have to have yur mail delivered by the Pony Express! Sometimes being grateful in a way that makes you smile or laugh to yourself during a time that you would normal be stressed really helps!

We all have the same opportunity for happiness in this life. It does not matter where we live, what family we were born into, or even what happened to us in the past, we can create our own joy. Once you get going, it gets easier to do. And that joy naturally spreads to others. When you lift yourself, others are automatically lifted right along with you. You can be happy today, if you choose to be.

eBook Release

It is true that the key to success is within ourselves. We have been blessed to have been made by an awesome Creator.

He has already placed greatness within each and everyone of us. The challenge that we all must face is digging deep enough to find what that greatness is.


Some people spend all their lives waiting for someone else to tell them who they are, what they are good at, and what they are worthy of. THAT is a huge mistake.



When we take the time to explore who we really are, we are able to gather pieces to the puzzle that is our life.

Many people have no idea what their purpose is. They often think about "How to become invisible" or "How to disappear." Some people become so depressed with their lives that they actually search on Google how they can end it all, or the easiest way that they can die.

There really is no need for that. The truth is that many of the limitations that we have in our lives we have placed there ourselves. It is true that some people can affect us, but we have the power within us to achieve great things.

In order to find that power and cling to it, you are going to have to remove the lies that you have accepted as the truth about yourself. Everyone who has experienced success has had to do this in one way or another. It is a great adventure, but you have to take the first step.

Beause I have had a very full and eventful life, I have learned a great deal. I have had to go through intense heartache, sorrow and pain. I learned how to forgive, heal and move forward. There are several different steps that we each will go through in order to reach that place of creation that lies within us.

I decided that the right thing to do was to share what I have learned with others. I wrote the ebook "What Lies in Your Journey?" to help others learn what I have without having to take the time that I did to learn it. The moment that the first copy sold, I was absolutely thrilled. That was at least one life that I helped to save.

For me, that is what life is about really. Who I can help. Who I can lift, and who I can connect that can help each other. While I do need to make a living, my focus is on how much I care about each person that is my life. I constantly am thinking about ways to help them as I become more aware of what they need.

"What Lies in Your Journey?" is just the first creation of mine that I plan to share with the world. And it contains real life experiences. My life.

Those who know me, and who know about what I have gone through in my childhood, teen years, and even into my adult years often wonder how it is that I kept going. How did I get to where I am today.

Many people are amazed that I have accomplished all I have despite what I have been through. They tell me that they would have quit if it was their life. That they would have turned out bitter, hateful and resentful.

The truth is, I had to struggle with all those emotions and more. And this ebook, will help you to do that too. It is priced low enough for anyone to afford it, and it is to the point so that most people can read it in less than 30 minutes.

We all live very busy lives now. And often those who need to learn these things really do not have more than 30 minutes to themselves right now. Those who got to preview this ebook before it was public have stated that it changed their life forever. That they see the world and everyone else in it through different eyes. They feel that the world has become more clear and that they are able to move forward with purpose.

I have created this blog, so that you and others like you can fnd your purpose in this life. So that you can take those steps that will help you become who you really are inside. It is my hope that you will invest in yourself and buy it today! Read it now! Glean from it, and then tell your friends!
