I first saw this video shared on Facebook, but felt compelled to make into a graphic. Powerful stuff about owning your OWN happiness and not letting life happen TO YOU.
He has a 5 step system to help people
- Own your own happiness. Take that power away from other people or things. Be responsible for things that bring joy into your heart. Joy comes from the heart, not from stuff.
- Challenge your own story. People torment themselves about how they see their life. Change the way you talk to yourself about who you are.
- Enjoy the journey, not the destination. Don't delay happiness "until" something happens. Celebrate every day, along the way. He said to put yourself on your calendar. If you don't see yourself as valuable, no one else will.
- Make relationships count. First, with God. If you know someone else is in charge, you don't have to bear that weight. Enjoy the relationship with yourself. If you don't like you, others won't either. When others enter into your life, they join a party that's already started! Take time to enjoy relationships. There is no fruit without relationships.
- Balance work with play. You can't do all of either one and be successful. If you work hard, play hard.
This wasn't said in this video, but I loved this quote. This is a wise man!
(skip first 1:35 as that's where the good stuff starts)
