Tough to follow a keynote by @neilpasricha but Ed’s “Back to the Future” discussion began with puppies which makes me very happy. Want nothing + Do anything = Have everything #happinessequation #dudeday2019 (at Raleigh Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBxsiHn3EL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=asajht6b6vhh

#Repost @rosariodawson (@get_repost) ・・・ Gratitude in ACTION...! #REadySETGO! #ReSet Accepting what is (and isn't) can be very powerful and a great starting point for critical changes each and every one of us can benefit from. This does not mean lie down and allow injustice....! Making "it" better each and every day than it was the day before can absolutely mean rising, stepping up and pushing back against institutional/generational systems of oppression. This, to me, doesn't say be a blissful doormat, but instead that we can choose to be empowered by the ever present ubiquitous gift of now, full of choice and possibilities, informed by the present, as a consistent starting point... We can (just) bitch and wallow or we can BE... Start from the pain and build from there... #DoSomething...! Now...! NOw...! NOW...! Every moment we're alive we have another chance to be/do...what...?! Your choice... Live Love. #chooseyou #selflove #selfcare #realism #meditate #contemplate #happinessequation Thank you Mo Gawdat...

The Happiness Equation

By Sam

“My theory was I was born happy and the more I engaged in life the more unhappy I became, I bought cars, spent money and tried to fill the gap in my soul in any way and it was just not working.”

Mo Gawdat’s ‘Solve For Happy’ gives me food for thoughts when it comes to what is happiness and actually could I be happier. Don’t get me wrong I love my life, my family, my friends but in taking time to contemplate whether I could be happier...it raises the answer that maybe I could (maybe we all could).

“Happiness is equal to or greater than the events of your life minus your expectation of how life should be.”

For me Mo’s equation hits the nail on the head when including expectations as part of the equation. There are always external factors which influence our perceptions on what is a successful / meaningful / full life and actually these are potentially where we all fall down.

I haven’t actually read Mo’s book (this post comes of the back of seeing him on the news) but what it has done has made me stop and think and appreciate everything more...something which I don’t think is a bad thing at all.

Stay in touch.
