I was kicking back today reading “Make a name for yourself” by Scott Ginsberg (aka That guy who wears a nametag 24/7). Great book – lots of neat, easy to implement ideas.
But then I just read this one part where Scott encourages you to complete the sentence… “To me happiness is…”
Hrrm… I was stumped! Now I fully believe that you attract what you focus on, but here I was unable to answer that question easily! I thought to myself, "How can I be attracting happiness if I can’t even define it!".
It was a great lesson for me to sit down and run through the possibilities…
Here are some earlier drafts:
To me happiness is…
being in the company of amazing people
achieving my goals
anything that makes me smile
not answering this stupid question because I can’t answer it!!!!
cupcakes, daffodils and a good night’s sleep
feeling a sense of accomplishment
I wasn’t happy with any of these responses and it took me about a day before I came up with one I was happy with.
So let me leave you with some wise words from Scott Ginsberg…
1. Figure out how you would complete to following sentence: “To me, happiness is ______________.”
2. Make sure the answer doesn’t hurt anybody, including yourself.
3. Guard it with your life.
4. Commence happiness.
And if you want to know what my eventual answer was – email me: http://www.kirstydunphey.com/contact.html and tell me your answer!
