The Happiness Project .. 2013

missionPossibleIcan

Happiness comes in so many shapes and forms. Happiness is what really completes people! After all don't we all want to live a life full of laughter, smiles and just plain joy? I been searching for my own happiness for sometime. I started going to a Therapist in hopes that she may have the answer to what is causing me to be what I thought was my own unhappiness.

I tried to dig deep into my own happiness project. I started pushing myself to go out of my confront zone and into a new world where I hoped would be the answer to my unhappiness. I started doing projects...remodeled the kitchen, purged my bedroom, painted some pots. I started writing letters to friends that I love and care about...to let them know how much they have impacted my life. I started to listen to me, instead of following everyone's vision of happiness. I stopped drinking and started living a healthier happier life. I started to let my walls slowly come down and forgive myself for things I have done in the past. I start going to church and praying....

Did the things above make me happier and take away my definition of unhappiness? The answer is a confusing one but one I completely understand. I never really was unhappy but felt unhappy at times... I have always found the positive in many things going on in my life and continue to do so. I just kept and still keep chasing after a different kind of happiness the kind of happiness that radiates from my skin, the kind that makes terrible days not so terrible.

Who wouldn't want that kind of happiness? I think in a way we all are chasing our own defination of complete happiness! We all want to live a life where pain and sadness doesn't exist. Fact is life is hard but it is what we do with the cards we were given that can make us happy. My Dad has always told me that money doesn't buy you happiness. He is so right! You can find happiness just sitting in a park watching your dog play or having dinner with amazing friends.

So why am I telling you about this? Because I want you to join in the club! I want all of you to chase your definition of happiness or reveal that you really are truly happy already. My goal is to get a group of people to do just that!!! A book club or better yet a Happiness Club!

What you will need to do? First, buy the book "The Happiness Project." Read the Getting Started and Chapter 1 before Jan or starting on Jan 1st. Start a journal to write ideas down. Each month you will try to do something to help make your definition of happiness come true or just a little clearer. We will read a new chapter each month and report on our own finding of how we feel and what we did. So simple right! One year to hopefully make you feel more alive and happier!

Who is with me? If you are interested in joining the "Happiness Club" email me at katmorgan2004@yahoo.com Let's start 2013 out with a resolution that is worth finishing...
