Happiness Information

Learning to love yourself isn't easy - especially if you grew up in an environment that involved abuse, neglect, shame or an emotionally dishonest atmosphere. Most people who experience self-love have had it planted as a seed by someone who accepted them unconditionally at a very early phase in their development.

What NOT To Do To Feel Good About Yourself - 10 Tips


From the moment we wake in the morning our heads start to fill with all sorts of thoughts. What will you give the kids for breakfast? Will you get the time to iron your blouse before you leave for work? What will you do if you miss the bus? And so it goes on.

Why We Have Problems? A Coach Debates


As a coach, I often ask myself the question why human beings have problems. With the exception of terminal diseases, serious illnesses that are REALLY life-threatening situations and serious stuff, we do have problems for a number of reasons I will present below.

Gratefulness


Gratefulness brings a great fullness to life. The choice to adopt and hold a moment-by-moment attitude of gratitude is the choice that differentiates those who suffer the slings and arrows of misfortune and those who are blessed with a joyous and abundant life.

Having Fun with Life

Breaking the Cycle


Breaking the cycle is a term we have all heard. Especially if we come from a family (and these days who doesn't) that has a history of some type of violence and/or drug abuse whereas this phrase is told to us over and over.

And I'm not saying that this is wrong; what questioning the effects of this on our individual happiness and the impact on our country.

Finding Your Life Purpose


You have a purpose in life. You have a unique gift or special talent.

Creating Better Relationships


The most important achievements you can ever have in this life is your own happiness.And the majority of all the happiness you will ever have, will come from your personal relationships.

Our Feelings and Attitudes Around Happily Ever After


Our feelings and attitudes have a huge impact on our ability to achieve 'happily ever after.' Are feelings and attitudes the same thing or different? Does one cause the other to happen?
