How To Transfer The Joy Of Vacation To E...

Kevin Miller | YAP Media
About this episode

Vacation is generally about pleasure and fun and feeding your senses with whatever flavor of happiness you like. So let me begin by stating I’m not giving a Pollyanna look at everyday life and making it equal the happiness of vacation. But the joy underneath vacation time is something different. It’s not the waves or rides or food or drink but the expectation of good things. This is what I see in the most successful. Truly successful. People. In my recent show with celebrity sports coach George Mumford he asked, “How can we move from bracing for failure to waiting for fulfillment?” And it brings up our worldview. Our expectations. Drive with me a moment.
