67% of US unhappy?

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

A Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy… 2/3s of the citizenry are not happy and want a change.

What are we so unhappy about?

I choose to have a vision of a peaceful world.

I will not buy into negativity.

It doesn’t help me to feel good.

Here’s my best 5 tips on finding happiness…see below…and tell us yours…(anonymously if you like)

1. Believe in 6 Impossible Things before Breakfast. (This comes from Alice in Wonderland.)

2. For 24 hours, have no negative vocabulary. No negative thoughts. Don’t think, do or say anything negative towards ANYBODY. (The Buddhist call this “right speech“.) Weigh every thought and word. Speak honestly but with good judgment. Every word we say affects those around us.

3. When one door closes, another door opens. You may spend your time staring at that closed door for so long, you miss all the doors which are opening for you.

4. Interrupt your old patterns. Do something different. It’s okay to be different. Practice what you say. If you talk the talk… Walk the Walk…

5. Forgive someone today.

Now, add to my list and share with others what your suggestions are for finding your happiness by posting a comment.

We are all significant in this Universe and there are those that have played a significant part in our life.

Who is the “Good Egg” in your life and why?

A Good Egg-Meet Ann

Meet Ann…she “works” at Shorty’s BBQ in South Miami, Florida…one of my favorite restaurants on the planet…

I put “works” in quotes because she is a gift… always friendly, always smiling, always connects in a way that feels good… like running into a good friend.

I’ve been “running into” Ann for over 30 years and was so happy to see her last week when I was in south Florida.

Ann probably doesn’t know it… but she is a master teacher in of the art of connection… if you are ever in Miami, stop by and see Anne… she’s a good egg.
