Summary: 7 Habits For Happiness in Life and Business Isn't life and business funny? For me, I pursued what I "defined" as "success" in my business for a long time, and while I did achieve it, looking back now, I realize that I was not pursuing "happiness" in my life and business for quite some time. Yes, I did eventually "get it" but I created a lot of un-harmony, and un-balance that was unnecessary. Well, hindsight is 20/20 and there is no since looking back, except to create something to help others avoid those same pitfalls! So, welcome to this 39th podcast on creating happiness in Life and Business! I got this concept from an article I read in Networking Times Magazine, the Sept/Oct 2013 issue. It's by Mark Fornier, and you can learn more about him at his website! I have paraphrased his exact "habits" to fit with what we do here in Network Marketing, and I expand on each and share some of my own stories, challenges, shifts and successes as I have worked through these! The Happiness Habits! Happier Habit #1 - Create the habit of asking yourself and others - "What is great about this?" when faced with challenges and perceived obstacles. Happier Habit #2 - Replace the habit of focusing on and complaining about what is wrong or missing in your life. Find the silver lining and good stuff! Happier Habit #3 - Replace the habit of comparing yourself with others who you perceive to have more than you with those who have less (or what you've done in the past and how you have grown!) Happier Habit #4 - Replace the habit of focusing on the past, or even the future with focusing RIGHT NOW. The past does NOT equal the future. Happier Habit #5 - Replace the habit of needing things to go your way with knowing that all is right and will work out. (I share an interesting insight I learned from my daughter!) Happier Habit #6 - Create the habit of pursuing your passion every single day! Happier Habit #7 - Create the habit of selflessly giving to those who need your help with no expectation in return!
