Just now I got rejected from a University I was confident that I would be accepted to. Scratch that, I was very confident. They said, “Although it may be difficult to understand our decision, admission to the _____________ is very competitive and we are not able to accept all of the students who apply for admission.” Sitting in my room, I just want to throw something. I want to freaking scream and just run around my house until I lose my voice and I just fall asleep. Gosh, that sounds pretty damn nice. But then, I realized, I should probably practice what I preach. How easy is it for teens, adults, kids, and humans, to just spiral out of control. It feels great to let your emotions free and just release that frustration. That is what I am doing right now. I am releasing my frustration by realizing that my self worth is not and will not be determined by any institution, by any letter, by anyone. Say that to yourself, whisper it, breathe it, think it, know it. That phrase will hold true your entire life. If you are not picked for a job, then you prove to those who rejected you that no one can determine what you ability is, or what your limitations are. This school rejects me, I know that when I create my successful business, become the person that I have the potential to be, in the future I’ll look back and say, “I determine my self worth.”
What Can YOU Control?
Summary: How can we still be happy after striking out on life's curveballs. What can we control?
Key Take Aways:
-Ask yourself what elements of your life you can and cannot control.
Physical limitations?
Work Life?
Work Environment?
Health?
Mental State?
Relationships?
Q: How can you become the CHO of your life, your company?
A: What in the world is a CHO? It is not a financial, economic, or operating officer, no, it is much more important. You need to become your own Chief Happiness Officer of your life. There are no Ivy league degrees, application, standardized testing or, and no prerequisite necessary, all you need is to make a simple choice every day, to be happy.
As CEO of Zappos.com, Tony Hshieh believes, a happy culture at work makes more than happy employees. As CHO of your life, YOU NEED to believe that a happy culture will make your work more successful and your life more content.
Being happy is easier said than done however. It is truly difficult to be happy when going through a maze misfortune. For me it is a potentially career ending injury to my throwing arm for baseball. Trust me I know, I am stuck in this maze. For 15 years I have been playing to hope that one day I will make it to the Big Leagues and now that dream is vanishing. Recently I realized that I cannot control my shoulder. I cannot control my injury. But, I can control how I react to it with the thinking that when one door closes another door opens.
My favorite Jewish storyteller, Joel Ben Izzy says that, "What seems like a curse may be a blessing and what seems like a blessing may be a curse." No matter what happens in life, realize that there is more, continue on and be a successfulCHO in your life.
*Term CHO was coined by Tony Hsieh
This is real people! Happiness is cultivated, and you are the only one who can take action in your life to discover it.

Happiness is a choice, it is never a non-existant option. No matter who you are or where you are there is always a choice whether to be happy or not. Don't believe me? Try this. The next time you feel yourself upset about something, just for the heck of it, try to find the good in that situation. Find the reason to happy no matter what. You wreck your car, be happy your alive. You get an 'F' on your math test, realize you need help and be happy that you know you can improve. If you can find a flaw in my argument please let me know, I would love to discuss it with you. But, until then, make the right choice and be happy, only you can choose your path.
High Way to the Anti-Anxiety Zone
I’m playing on a new team this year. I don’t know many kids, and on top of that I have my own anxiety to deal with. Now, sitting in my room trying to think of worthwhile things to do it hit me. Why am I getting anxious? he root meaning of the word anxiety is 'to vex or trouble; in either presence or absence of psychological stress, anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread (Wikipedia). How can I feel these emotions when I have, not only been playing baseball all my life, but love it so much. Why even though I love baseball and would do anything to be better do I worry just about playing with people I don’t know or on a new team. Its all about comfort zones. If I could push past my fears of getting outside my comfort zone, there is no time I would be anxious. I would be willing to except failure, attack new situations head on, and be myself without caring about what anyone says. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who feels this and if/when you read this, think to yourself how many limitations your comfort zone puts on you and imagine your life where everything was in your comfort zone.
Happiness is just a matter of perspective. When you look at things the right way, theres always a reason to smile.
Ever feel like a zombie, wasting your day away? Take two of these and call me in the morning!
Live in the moment and enjoy what we've got!
Happiness = Breakfast of Champions. Just Be It.
It takes more muscles to frown then to smile, one of the few times its important to take the easy road :).
Million Dollar Question
“Study after study suggest that there are tremendous benefits to being happy - at home, at work, though our bodies, heart and mind, and in the world right outside our door.” -Taffy Brodesser-Aknerand
So why won’t we let ourselves feel it? Why are we stuck in this mindset that it is so difficult, if not impossible to find happiness in our day to day existence.
Teenagers, have you ever hidden a grade from your parents, shredded a report card, or lied about a test score? If so, ask yourself why? Aren’t the people you’re hiding your failure from, the ones that would do everything possible to help you achieve success? After my Advanced Algebra test a couple of months ago, I got my grade back, in big red ink an infuriating 64%. The second test in a row like that, but when my friend asked me about my grade, I replayed with a frustrated lump in my throat, “80%” - I lied! When my parents asked me what I got I said, “Not an A+, but its early in the year and I’ll be fine, don’t worry.” Instead of reaching out for help, a tutor or extra practice, I hid my defeat and just kept going. Well after 5 weeks of the same, I realized I had made a huge mistake. My teacher emailed my parents telling them I should change my math level, in other words, change classes and they were very surprised because they thought I was doing well. Now, what does my embarrassing story have to do with happiness? Well, it made me dread going to school, because I knew I would have that math class and I knew that at the end of the week, I’d fail another test - this made me sad - I didn’t want to go to school or do my homework. Again, why didn’t I reach out to someone and admit that I needed help? What is it about teenagers like me? I know there are many, many high schoolers, like me, sharing a similar experience! They feel the need to be so proud and independent, that they can’t ask for help. Once we see a bad grade on a report card, why are we running to the trashcan to throw it away? Why not run to your family and tell them you need help, or why not consult a friend and tell them that your struggling and ask for help with tutoring? Because I reached out to my parents, I now have a tutor on Wednesdays and have switched math classes to one that I can succeed in and the result is amazing - A’s and “great job” from my teacher, on my exams and I feel confident and yes, happy.
The underlying moral of this message is as Tal Ben-Shahar says, author and lecturer who taught the largest course at Harvard on “Positive Psychology,” “Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions - such as fear, sadness, or anxiety - as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Rejecting our emotions, positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness.”
