How to be in Control of Your Happiness

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

“Do what you love,” we’re always told. And if we’re fortunate, we get to pursue a career doing the things that bring us the most joy. But have you ever noticed what happens when you take an activity that you love and start to associate it with “work?” It sucks the pleasure right out of it. Before you know it, the things that once brought you happiness now feel like a chore.


In today’s LOVE Life I’m going to teach you the most important life skill you could ever have: how to derive enjoyment in life without having to change your situation, putting you in control of your happiness every day.
