Happiness is never stopping to think if you are. – Palmer Sondreal

Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad. – Norm Papernick

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost. – H. Jackson Browne

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse.  You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. – Margaret Young

Nat and I feel that this question is so important. It was the reason we made it part of our logo.

Asking yourself this simple question generates two very different answers and consequently the actions taken differ.

If you answer this question with a yes then congratulations! That is a fantastic place to be. You can either continue with what you are doing since your behaviors and actions appear to be working for you. Or you can see if you can extract even more happiness out of your life. You can’t be too greedy when it comes to happiness.

If you answer this question with a no, then you can immediately stop what you are doing, evaluate where you are and what you are thinking. Next, start making some changes to your thoughts. See if you can make things ever so slightly better. Once you get there, your newer and broader perspective will help you climb up the ladder towards happiness even more. Of course you have the choice to not be as happy as you want, but ask yourself why you choose that road.

So, I ask…….Are you happy enough?
