Before we start on the journey towards the City of Happiness together we need to make sure we're all looking at the same map, and all heading in the same direction.
- "I think happiness is a state of complete euphoria, like living on cloud 9 constantly."
- "I think happiness is a quiet soft feeling of contentment."
- "I think happiness is the thrill of wild excitement running through your veins constantly."
If we are aiming for a state called "Happiness" we need to know what it is we think we are trying to achieve. In order to reach this goal of inner-bliss we are going to be learning lots of new, exciting and interesting information and tools. . (Warren, 2010, p496-512 KV)
By now, I am hoping that you've found (or went out and purchased) a notebook or notepad to jot down the exercises that we have been doing. At the end of each lesson, there is a "your turn" section. If you don't have something dedicated to this portion, today is the day to make that happen. We have 85 more days to go and its time to get serious. Keeping everything in one spot makes it easy to refer back to and you will always know where you are.
Write down what you want. What does happiness mean to YOU? Not your spouse/significant other, not your kids, not your friend, YOU.
Will these desires actually make you happy once you've reached them? Maybe you need to adjust your desires. Maybe you're heading down the wrong path. It will be interesting to see how our views change once we begin our journey. If your path changes as we go, its ok. The goal is to listen to that quiet voice. What is that voice telling you?
1. What does Happiness mean to you?
2. Write down 3 ways your life would be different if you lived in a state of happiness?
