Are you truly happy?

If I was sitting across the table from you and ask you

How are you? How’s your life? By the way are you genuinely happy?

What would you say to me?  Would you stare at me with a blank look?

OR

Would you genuinely be OPEN to answering my question?

I made an insightful video about happiness. I have been head over heels in love with Marci Shimoff book, “Happy for No Reason” which is absolutely phenomenal book.   Here is the culmination of what I learned from the book.

This video is not to be ignored!!!!!! It is FULL OF NUGGETS about happiness. And I bet you; by the end of the video I have accomplished helping you raise your happiness level right now.  So let’s get started here’s my video and feel the feelings of EXPANSION as you finish this blogpost.

Over the course of these months I will be studying and sharing with you principles, methods, stories, of HAPPINESS.

So First Off a Personal Story….

You see, I feel like I have been fairly happy my entire life. I mean seriously ;) No joke. I think I discovered happiness at a very young age and clung to it as much as I possibly can.  I am in full gratitude just to be able to LIVE LIFE and walk on this earth.  I feel in gratitude for God’s loving presence.

When I was 3 years old, my parents had an opportunity to live a better life here in America.  My siblings and I were left behind.  It was one of the turning points in my life because when you are young, all you ever want is to be close to your parents.

The thoughts roaming around your head is not about:

  • Next hottest trend
  • What my boy/girl friend is doing
  • Shopping endlessly till’ your head drops
  • Keeping up with sports
  • Business agenda
  • What my next task is

Your whole purpose is to be united and be in connection with your parents and siblings.

I was very young when my parents left.  Although, I have fully accepted their decision to leave us kids at a young age.  I can’t help but SHARE with you how much it impacted my life in such a big way.   I just think that it took me a while to understand it.  For this valuable lesson in life I was always seeking for answers.

I share this to all of you out there that’s been searching for happiness.  I share this with you who are depending on current circumstances to make you happy.  I am sharing this for those of you that are not FULLY LIVING in genuine happiness that comes from the inside out.  I am sharing this with people who have always sought approval & likeness from other people.

One thing you should never postpone is your own happiness.  Make it a point to embrace every moment and live life in true happiness.

So I am extremely EXCITED & in full gratitude to share with you ALL.

I will be going on a happiness odyssey.  The journey will be inward.  It will be

FUN

EXCITING

FULL OF LESSONS

LOVING

LIGHT

OPTIMISTIC

HEARTFELT

PROFOUND

This will be a 6 month journey.  My intention is to bring information to you that can help you grow within your happiness level.  To help you expand in your own awareness.  To bring about change within your perception about happiness.  To help you realize the little moments it takes to become happy.   To help you get rid of the 2 myths about happiness.  To create a community of like-minded & like-hearted individuals that understands the power of cultivating happiness in our every daily life.

I am EXCITED to share all of this with you.

I thank you in advance for participating in this journey of mine.  I hope you find it rewarding and fulfilling.  I know for sure YOUR SOUL will find its way back home to happiness.

I THANK YOU

I APPRECIATE YOU

I LOVE YOU

Yours in abundance of happiness,

  • > genuine happiness that comes from the inside ou
    You nailed it right there.

    Happiness can't be outside you or something you attain ... you gotta drive from the inside out.

    Hi Therese it's been long, how you been? Been so busy these couple of months. I totally agree with you on having gratitude. I realize this too a couple of months ago while doing some thinking that even to accept oneself and to be happy and to receive more in life we have to be grateful with what we already have because when we aren't grateful we feel like not enough, like we are not enough, like we wish our life were better. So to be happy and to accept ourselves and esteem ourselves being grateful is very important I completely agree with what you believe.

    Much love,
    Breylin

  • Great video Therese!

    I am a fan of Marci's book.

    Key lesson from the book I learned is that being an overgiver or a martyr is a form of self pity and complaining. In the past, I tend to overgive at the expense of my own well being.

    Learning to not give up our happiness to make others happy is powerful. When we are happy inside it gives others permission to display their happiness, a WIN-WIN for all. =)

    Love your work!

  • HI Eiji, Thank You! You have always shed light into my life. I appreciate all that you do.
    Thank You!

  • I love you to Therese! my happiness, like yours, comes from within and it's an attitude, a practice. But I'd like so much to be part of this journey with you! I subscribed days go without knowing what this was about...I simply vibe with you and I definitely FEEL and know that being together and commenting each other will be very fulfilling. I smile every time I see your face! My blog, and my life, is all about happiness and raising our vibration...I wanna see you/hear from you everyday!!!
    Thank you.

  • HI My new tribe Member, How are you Francesco HAPPY HAPPY birthday to you. I hope you had a GREAT one and I am pleased to know we are closely aligned with the same work. Peace Love Oneness

  • Stacy Pavey

    Years ago my husband taught me that you can look to no one else to make you happy....You have to be happy with yourself first, then others just add to your happiness, but if you are not happy with yourself it doesn't matter what anyone else does for you it won't truly make you happy.....I really believe that, and am so lucky to have learned it years ago, so I am so excited about this jouney with you, and I can't wait to get this book and read it.....

    Love Ya...

  • Hi Stacy, YES get the book!!! It's my new fave. Anyway glad you have a husband that has GREAT PERSPECTIVE. Thanks for stopping by Stacy. Love you

  • Therese, how exciting. I'm so looking forward to this journey with you. Thank you for bringing it to all of us.

    I am reading Deepak Chopra's book, A Path to Love and I just read his quote from Walt Whitman in it:

    "There is within me-I do not know what it is-but I know it is in me...
    Do you see O my brothers and sisters?
    It is not chaos or death- it is form, union, plan- it is eternal life - it is Happiness."

  • Sue, That quote by Walt Whitman totally MADE MY DAY today seriously. I love it! Thanks for sharing here. I appreciate your friendship so much. Love to you

  • I am so excited about your happiness odyssey!!!!

    I loved the video and what you shared!

    I like to think that happiness truly is a CHOICE we all
    make. Thank you for reminding me of that. AND Gratitude is
    key in being happy. I've been able to turn not so great
    relationships around through writing a gratitude list and
    finding the gifts (no matter how hidden) in the relationship
    or situation. I loved that you ended the post on that note.

    I am sooooo psyched about these series of post!
    It's late right now so I'm not writing as much as usual,
    but I will be viewing this vid again and again.

    Also we are so on the same wavelength as will
    be revealed in a bit.

    Love you so much!!!!

    xoxo,
