Short version – Don’t spend your life chasing the small, incremental moments of happiness. Find the joy in what you naturally do every day in life.

“Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome. If I win, I will be happy, if I don’t I won’t. It’s an if-then, cause and effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it. See, happiness demands a certain outcome, it is result reliant and I say if happiness is what you’re after then you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though… Joy is a different thing, its something else. Joy is not a choice, it’s not a response to some result. It’s a constant. Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do no matter the outcome. See, joy is always in process it’s under construction. It is in constant approach alive and well in the doing of what we’re fashioned to do and enjoying. The easiest way to dissect success is through gratitude. Give thanks for that which we do have, for what is working. Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted. We give thanks for these things and that gratitude reciprocates. Creating more to be thankful for.It’s really simple, and it works. I’m not saying be in denial of your failures. No, we can learn from them too. But only if we look at them constructively as a means to reveal what we are good at. What we can get better at, what we do succeed at. We don’t always do our best, and since we are the architects of our own lives, let’s study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that lead to and feed our success, our joy, our honest pain, our laughter, our earned tears. Lets dissect that and give thanks for those things. No matter what you choose, do not let it jeopardize your soul.”

Seven men greeted the new year with some hard work! (Butterfingers, Drifter, Fins, Mr. Rogers, Proton, Snorkel, & Wood Shack)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The new year is here and by now we are already making those New Year’s Resolutions.  To help inspire you and make those choices a little easier I want to share a couple of quotes.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (As told to Gil Bailie by Howard Thurman)

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

In summary, I hope you each of you live this year with passion and enthusiasm, and find what makes you come alive.
