Living with joy is an ongoing process of taking charge of your life and learning to create your best, most meaningful and happiest life in every area of your life day by day a little each day.​ It is about learning to be the person you really want to be and create the life you really want to create as a totally unique and invaluable individual human being. Living with joy starts with defining happiness in the most meaningful terms.This includes identifying the happiness myths we have been taught in our society. Happiness myths are beliefs about what creates and sustains happiness that we have been taught in our society that significant research has found do not really work or do not give us the sustainable and meaningful happiness we have been taught to believe they do. Because we can buy into these happiness myths we can experience significantly less “meaningful and authentic happiness than” we could in life. It isn't that we have to necessarily stop doing these things but that we need to put them into perspective and focus on understanding and applying what significant research has found really does increase and sustain meaningful and authentic happiness in every area of our lives. Living with joy is inside- out. It means learning to work on “who you are”- on increasing core character strengths, increasing confidence and self worth, identifying and changing self-limiting beliefs and learning, applying and reinforcing the beliefs, attitudes and actions that research has found create and sustain “meaningful and authentic happiness” and results in every area of your life day by day a little each day.​​ Living with joy isn’t about always walking around with a big smile on your face. It is creating a sense of value, meaning and purpose in your life that is so strong that you can bounce back from obstacles, falling short or failing faster and even more determined to win and never giving up on creating your best and happiest life. Lastly, living with joy is about understanding that the process of living day by day as we work toward our goals and dreams in life is the place where we increasingly manifest our best and happiest self and create our best and happiest life… starting today right where we are.
