What Makes You Happy or Unhappy?

  1. What you have?
  2. Who you are?
  3. Where you are?
  4. What you are doing?
This is a little tricky, because all of these things at times are what we think makes us happy or unhappy.

In fact, it’s the desire for pleasure, happiness, that is what you are after when you want a fancy, hot, gorgeous car/person on your arm or parked at your house - what you ”have”.  

And, it’s that same desire for pleasure & happiness, that is what you are after when you work to “become or present or look” a certain way - who you “are.”

And, it’s the same desire again that is what you are after when you travel to exotic places and live in a certain neighborhood or frequent your favorite haunts - where you “are.”

And finally, you get the picture - what you are “doing” - same desire for pleasure or happiness.


 But, “It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.”  
~ Dale Carnegie 

So now, you know.  Change what you think about things, and get happier.


Be grateful for 
  1. What you have 
  2. Who you are - believe me, you are somebody special.
  3. Where you are
  4. What you are doing.
Change any of it anytime, and just remember - your gratitude will bring you:
- happiness, AND
- more of what you are grateful for - what you have, who you are, where you are, and what you do.​

To an amazing little secret!  Grateful for you!
