Show Inspired by Marc and Angel Hac What you will learn on Todays Show Some Cures for the 12 Causes of Unhappiness   1. Lack of meaning in one’s day to day life. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”     2. Obsession with the past or future. As Helen Keller once said, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” 3. Feeling out of shape and unhealthy. 4. Unfavorably comparing oneself to others. 5. Focusing on negatives. 6. Avoiding personal accountability. 7. Perfectionism and fear of failure. .Perfect is the enemy of good.  Learn to accept the good – learn to love things when they are less than ‘perfect.’ 8. A low self-esteem. Marcus Aurelius once said, “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”   9. Financial debt. 10. All work and no play. 11. Neglecting personal relationships. 12. Procrastination.   Music – Bobby Mcferrin Don’t worry be happy Blackbird Thinkin about your body Drive my car Book Suggestions The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich (Expanded and Updated)

David explores how easy it is to get stuck in toxic relationships or areas in our life where we’re not truly happy.  He talks about the “trap” that keeps us in our comfort zone even if it’s a toxic one. The key is to become aware of the relationship and how. Often it happens with relationships...your friends tell you how toxic your relationship with your significant other is, but you won’t step away from it. The same applies for jobs as well...are you in a job that makes you happy?  Or is there a fear of moving into a place beyond?
