What is It?
"If you want to be somebody else, if you are tired of doing battle with yourself - you can change your life if you change your mind" - Sister Hazel
Well! What is it? What is your definition of a happy life? Everything in your life going forward, as you can’t change the past, revolves around that very definition. I read an article on Monday that summed it up: happiness starts on the inside.
One of the best ways I’ve seen it put is, you can chase it or you can choose it. It starts with you and ends with you. If you are looking all around you but not inside, that’s all you will continue to do is look around. Step one is to realize that happiness resides inside you. All too often, people think “some one, some job, some event, or some thing” will bring them happiness. WRONG! Once you accept the origin of happiness, your life begins to change. As you exhibit happiness, you will see happy people being drawn to you. That is the foundation of the Law of Attraction – like attracts like.
If you feel clouded, unclear, or out of balance, look inside. What is driving those feelings of cloudiness, missing clarity, or being out of balance? The self discovery process can take a bit, but it is the foundation to everything. Next take look around you at the people and situations in your life. I will bet a large stack of C notes that you have situations and people in your life that support your feelings on the inside. Are the people in your life speaking positivity and love to you or berating you, being demeaning, and talking down to you? The Law of Attraction is always right.
Take a minute to write down the people in your life and exactly what they bring to your table: good and positive energy or less than good energy? Once you write it down, you will see what I’m talking about. It’s an eye opener for most people, and yes it can hurt some when you see it in writing. Trust me! I’ve done it and made changes accordingly. I’m choosing rather than chasing.
Life becomes better when you treat yourself better. Happiness resides in all of us, but we sometimes lose sight of it. Be present, be aware, and be a participator. You can make your life into anything you want it to be. It starts with looking inside and finding your happiness. Looking at anything else other than inside is just looking. Remember, you can chase it OR you can choose it.

Some Goodness
I got the following email from Brittnee over at M.D. Anderson. Thanks for your kindness Paul. You made a big difference to a 5 year old.
Paul Haas stepped up nicely with 2 more sets of four tickets for our young patients. Very COOL!!!!! The little guy that enjoyed the game Paul gave in July was 5 years old and the game was during his first week of treatment here at M. D. Anderson (and in Houston. His family had to leave home and basically move their lives to Houston for his treatment). Paul's thoughtfulness provided a fun-filled day to a family that just needed something normal and fun to do to take their minds off all they had been through that week. The nurses say that Michael (the patient) will not stop talking about it and has become an Astros fan. :) Good stuff!!!!!
