740 The Secret to Happiness

Lewis Howes
About this episode

LET HAPPINESS HAPPEN.
Are you waiting to be happy?
Maybe you’re waiting until you reach your goal weight, you get that car, or you get that promotion.
What if I told you that your happiness is not going to be there when you get those things?
You might feel a rush for a moment, but it won’t last.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I created a mashup on happiness with quotes from Marisa Peer, Rich Roll, Trent Shelton, Brooke Ence, James Clear, Rachel Hollis, Shaun T, and Susan David.
All of these people agree that happiness cannot be found in things or achievement. It’s within your power RIGHT NOW to be happy.
Happiness is not something you search for. It’s something you choose.
What are you waiting for?
