How to Be Happy in Trying Times

by Jay (Jason Van Orden)

HappinessWe’re coming up on Thanksgiving in the U.S. which got us thinking about things that we are grateful for and excited about in life.

There’s far too much pessimism in the world right now.

We recognize that a lot of people are struggling in a variety of ways, but guess what?

There’s also a lot of things in this world that are friggin’ awesome
right now!

We have a lot to be grateful for. It’s important not to forget that.

Times can get tough. Now and again we might lose some of the comforts that we’ve grown accustomed to, but we must not lose site of all that is good around us.

The news feeds us fear, because that’s what sells. They know it will keep us glued to the TV.

Here’s a tip…turn the news off!

Stop watching it. Find other ways to keep up on current events if you must.

Choose carefully who you spend your time with. Associate with people that will build you up.

Guard your mind from sources that would tear you down.

They don’t have your best interests in mind.

One of our platinum students recently posted a great blog post video clip from the Conan O’Brien show (I heart Conan).

Go here and give it a watch. It’s only four minutes long. It’s a Friday. Treat yourself to a laugh. Enjoy it.

This blog post and video inspired our latest episode of the podcast.

Listen to it and count how many times we say the word ‘awesome.’ One listener proposed you could even make a drinking game out of it if you wanted.On a final note, we’re incredibly grateful for you and the all the others in the Internet Business Mastery community that follow our content.

It brings us a lot of fulfillment to discuss with you topics that we’re extremely passionate about because of the power they have to change lives — not only your own, but also the lives of others around you.

Have a great weekend!

- Sterling and Jay

    I was listening to Joe Vitale’s book today and he said the most important thing that you can do to be successful is to “Be Happy Now”. Great information.
