Pursuit of Happiness

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." -\\xa0Declaration of Independence

Yes, this familiar line comes from the Declaration of Independence, but those last three words are the main ones on my mind. I have battled happiness just like anyone else. Sometimes we become overwhelmed with our families, work, finances, and other things. I myself have been so overwhelmed it almost felt like I couldn\\u2019t bounce back, but I always try to remember that tomorrow is another day. Things follow us or carry over, we may have continuous reminders with something that is bothering us, but if we do the best we can with each day and really try tomorrow and the next day, then eventually there will be a turning point.

What I suggest, or rather, remind Photo World to do is remember those perfectly written three words: \\xa0\\u201cPursuit of Happiness\\u201d. Our lives are a journey, our businesses are a journey, and should constantly pursue Happiness within those journeys. It doesn\\u2019t happen overnight but if we put more effort into being happy by choosing to smile through an otherwise common or even boring situation, we will find that happiness spread into other areas of our lives. When you need to do something you don\\u2019t enjoy say\\u2026 take out the trash. Do it with a smile and think, \\u201cit feels good to have this much more of my home clean\\u201d. Maybe you have a down month financially with your photography, be happy that you now have time to update your website or research the next conference you can attend.

Small doses can go a long way and over time, Photo World, you can form the habit of Happiness. This pursuit of happiness should never be undone and spread into other areas of your life and not just your business. This can help relationships, improve your health, and even extend your life.

I go over a few other points on this subject in this episode so please give it a listen and more importantly share the wealth by sharing this episode and podcast on facebook and twitter.
