Find your happy.

That’s all you really need to do.
If it gives you joy you’ll want to do it more and more. You’ll be passionate about it and be willing to practice to get better at it. With that you’ll innovate and improve.
Loving it will make you okay at working hard at it. It will also give you the strength to ignore naysayers and all-around mean people.
This will bring value to others and to what you’re doing because by loving it, you’ll have integrity, satisfaction and respect for what you produce.
Lastly, if you choose to offer it, others will want it (and pay for it).
Find your happy.
That’s all you really need to do.
I’m still finding mine, but when I do expect to see great, great things. I’ll be expecting the same from you too.
And if you already know what your happy is, what are hell you waiting for?!?

September 6th, 2009 at 6:14 pmI’m still looking for my happy.
September 8th, 2009 at 11:53 pmI guess that is where many fail, they do not know what actually brings them genuine happiness. Of course, happiness is fleeting and learning this is actually what aids in making happiness last when it does.

Dayne,
I think that premise is where the dreaded “I don’t know what to do” starts. I’m with Vered, still looking.
September 10th, 2009 at 1:05 pmAgree with Dayne, happiness is like a Bee or a Butterfly, flitting from flower to flower, enjoy it while you may.
People who appear to be deliriously happy all the time, are either faking or unbalanced.

Well, I think my happy is helping people. My job working in substance abuse doesn’t make ME happy, but it seems that I can help others every once in a while so that’s good. But yesterday, I FINALLY got up the nerve to sign up for a Nurse Aide class, which is the first step toward a nursinig career for me (which I never thought I was capable of, but I know I am!). I really love this post!
