Well, certainly, I want to wish everyone a happy new year. But I had a couple of questions first.
First, can we really wish for a happy new year or do we have to take steps to create this happiness on a consistent basis?
Second, and perhaps more important....what is happiness for you?
In my experience as an agent, coach, manager etc I have learned that happiness is not limited or truly defined by what you get, but how you get it and more importantly, why you want it in the first place.
I may want to make $500,000 but how I choose to approach that result will define who I am and my ability to control that outcome. More so, understanding why I want it--be it the diminishment of pain or the pursuit of greater pleasures (for myself or others) will give me purpose, passion, and the willingness to get it.
So, here is a wish from me to you, not as much for a happy new year....as it is a clear idea of what that happiness means to you and for the courage, willingness, and wisdom to create a plan to make it happen. And, might I add, a wish that you know and see that in the end, it is not what is at the end of the tunnel, it is the ride indeed that will being you the most consistent, moment to moment happiness you can ever experience.
Ask any baby if you could and they would tell you that happiness for them is not the goal of growing up, but the moment they are in in the process of doing so. (think about that one)
Happy New Year Everyone! (and all that means to you)
Best,
