Why Happiness Is A Choice And How To Cre...

Scott Lynch
About this episode

Happiness is a choice. The key component is intentionally choosing it everyday. The happiest people I know are not being held hostage by their circumstances or seeking happiness in others or possessions. So how do you increase this intentional happiness? In this episode, I discuss four ways to proactively seek happiness and positivity in your life.

In episode #151 we cover:

  1. Being cognizant how you spend your money
  2. Filtering what you consume
  3. Overthinking
  4. Forgiving
