“Truth can be found in simplicity.” ~ Joe Contrera
Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation that seems so overwhelming that we lose our way and end up drowning in a sea of fear, doubt, and confusion.
In times like these, it might be helpful to simplify your thought process and boil it all down to one simple and easy question…am I happy?
Answering this question should be relatively simple and it is, until we start to over-think, over-analyze, and over-complicate what should be a very simple answer; yes I am or no I am not!
If you should ever find yourself in this situation and want to get out you need to do 3 things:
- Stop playing the blame game.
- Take 100% responsibility for what you are creating in your life.
- Accept 100% responsibility for changing it!
Are you willing to do those 3 things? If you are what follows is 5 questions and 5 actions to take, if you want to leave the raging sea of discontent and paddle into the sea of happiness.
5 Questions To Ask Yourself About Happy…ness?

- Are you sure?
- Are you willing to do whatever it takes to make yourself happy?
- Do you keep doing things that make you unhappy? If so why? (I don’t know isn’t an answer)
- Do you know what makes you happy?
5 Actions You Can Take To Be Happy:
