Happiness

At LifeTrek Coaching International, our motto is "Celebrate the best for exceptional results." We work with you to "celebrate the best to bring out the best in individuals, schools, congregations, companies, and organizations." We also "enable people and organizations to move forward quickly and successfully in the directions of their dreams."

At the root of this work, is helping you to find and tap into your own happiness. We've talked about making well-made choices that "contribute to both (your) happiness and the happiness of the world," creating fan club moments by "help(ing) others to feel heard and (by) show(ing) true interest in their happiness and success," as well as balancing saying 'yes' and 'no' in order to "create an enduring Work/Life balance, greater performance, and happiness" amongst other aspects of happiness. As a whole, happiness plays a large role in the work we do.

Recently, NPR added a new essay to their This I Believe series that focused on the power of happiness. This I Believe is a "national media project engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values and beliefs that guide their daily lives." This new essay was written and read by Wayne Coyne, a singer in the band The Flaming Lips. In his essay, Coyne states "Happiness is not a situation to be longed for or a convergence of lucky happenstance. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves. This I believe."

Listen to Coyne's essay and tell us what happiness means to you. Where do you find happiness? How do you share happiness with others? Can we create our own happiness? What role does happiness play in your life?
