Road map to happy

I love this roadmap to happy.  What path are you on?  

Are You Happy?  If you answered YES, that is absolutely wonderful and you keep doing what you're doing.  If you answered NO, then why not?  The next question you have to ask yourself is, do I want to be happy?  If you answered YES, then change something.  Ask yourself, why am I unhappy?  You may find several answers to that question.  When you determine what is making you unhappy in each part of your life, then start thinking about what would make you happy and what you would need to do to make that happen.

Start a journal and write down the things that make you unhappy.  Each time you think about it and come up with small, doable changes, write those down too.  Repeat that step for all the unhappy parts in your life.  The more you think about it, the closer you can get to making small changes and find a little bit more joy in your life.

If you answered NO to the question do I want to be happy, then keep doing what you're doing.  Now of course that is a silly answer if you want to be happy, but if you are not willing to take a look at what your doing that creates the unhappiness and you are not willing to make a change then the obvious answer is NO I don't want to be happy.

"Acknowledge the things that work for you and do more of them.
Acknowledge the things that don't work for you and do less of them.
When in doubt, stumble!"  Michael Neill
