Become A Life Builder Focused On YOUR Happiness

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Shells DockI did a little two week vacationing in Florida over the Christmas and New Year's holidays and sitting on the beach I do not know why but the thoughts of happiness and a junior high school English teacher crossed my mind with parts of speech. That would be a noun being defined as a person, place or thing. I thought of pen in hand life writing story we all have and to

Build A Life Focused On Your Happiness.

The noun part comes into your choices with creating the SETTING adding in the people, places, and things. First off in your mind you have to KNOW what makes you happy. Second, you have to insert those three items into the picture. Third, you have to defend that happiness with all your might from negative influences.

The first part of knowing what makes you happy requires some serious quiet meditation. The second part adding the people and pets, the area you want to live and why or places to travel to, and the WHAT makes up the things that make you happy.... things you do, things you work toward, events you participate in, the NON-PEOPLE parts of your happiness. They do say happiness is an inside attitude part that you can carry everywhere....

BUT don't ignore that people, places, things part of the picture either, as it will make your spirit SOAR together with that inside part.

Lastly DEFEND your happiness from many negative influencers that bring you down, people who hurt you constantly, dream destroyers, anything that the opposite of you soaring crushes your spirit. You will NOT be happy with the destroyers. It is the opposite of building.

Leap to another new beginning for you starting off the year, and "FEEL" the happiness...

One of my goals for 2014 is to eliminate all negative influences in my life. Got rid of a bunch last year. Will continue this year. Keep Prospecting!

This is deep Gary. I started to write down what makes me happy. It was a wake up call. Thanks for the thoughts.

Gary, you are a great writer. This is interesting. You have to work because you enjoy that work but isn't the ultimate goal to be happy?

"Defend your happiness with all your might!" - I LIKE that statement. I am posting it on my refrigerator!

Gary, I've got to hand it to you - another fantastic post.  I don't need to think about what makes me happy. I know it in the core of my being. I had an unexpected visitor drop by today who told me that I wear my heart upon my sleeve and am very easy to read. No wonder I never won at poker!

Love the graphics. I like the leap between leaving 2013 behind and leaping into the great unknown of 2014 with both feet. The photo of the dog holding the hose for his friend is perfect. Friends help each other, not hurt each other.

Gary, I hope you are enjoying being back home in Texas.  "Happiness is an attitude that we carry with us."  I like that. 

As usual, you find wonderful pictures to illustrate your point.  Have a great day.
