How to Be Happier Starting Today
Everyone seems to be looking for happiness, but not many people find it, especially in Western civilization. That’s because so many of us were brought up to believe that it’s outside ourselves.
Others of us were brought up to believe that happiness is for others, but not attainable for us. Some were even misled to believe they don’t deserve happiness and thus should settle for leading what Thoreau called “quiet lives of desperation.”
I’m Flora Morris Brown–writer, retired professor, motivational speaker and entrepreneur.
My blog, Color Your Life Happy, is dedicated to helping you discover that happiness is not something you find, but something you must be.
By happiness I don’t mean giddiness, a continual state of laughter, a string of positive affirmations, or mindless glee. On Color Your Life Happy I use happiness to mean a deep joy that comes from making good choices in your life. Good choices are those that enable you to do what you is fun, fulfilling and pleasurable to you.
Happiness is also choosing to stop doing what you don’t like and avoiding toxic people and draining situations.
Many authors, poets, songwriters and movies have offered ideas on happiness. Some of them may have offered paths that worked for you. I offer this site as another set of ideas that I hope you will embrace and put to work for you.
