Our lives are rich with potential sources of happiness, but sometimes we become victims of negative thinking because we believe that focusing on all that has gone wrong will provide us with the motivation we need to face the challenges of survival. When we choose to focus on what brings us joy, however, a shift occurs in the fabric of our existence. Finding something to be happy about every single day can help this shift take place. The vantage points from which we view the world are brought into balance, and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be happy about — it’s simply up to us to identify it.
On one day, we may find happiness in a momentous, life-changing event such as a marriage or the birth of a child. On another day, it could be the simple pleasure of a well-brewed cup of tea or the way the sun shines on a leaf. If we discover that we literally cannot call to mind a single happy element of our existence, we should examine the cause of the blockage standing between us and experiencing joy. Keeping a happiness journal is a wonderful way to catalog the delights unfolding all around us so that joy has myriad opportunities to manifest itself in our lives. Writing about the emotions we experience while contemplating joy may give us insight into the factors compelling us to resist it.
Happiness may not always come easily into your life. You have likely been conditioned to believe that the proper response to unmet expectations is one of sadness, anger, guilt, or fear. To make joy a fixture in your existence, you must first accept that it is within your power to choose happiness over unhappiness every single day. Then, each time you discover some new source of joy, the notion that the world is a happy place will find its way more deeply into your soul. On this day, find one thing to be happy about and let it fill your heart.

What is the secret to lasting happiness — not the fleeting kind that comes and goes with circumstance, but an undeniable sense of fulfillment? Psychologist Dr. Jisun Sunny Fisher draws on the science of positive psychology to reveal that the answer may begin with something surprisingly simple: coming into greater alignment with who you truly are and what makes you feel alive. In this course, you’ll explore six fundamental human needs to wake up each day with joy and purpose. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, neurolinguistic programming, and powerful mindset practices, you’ll begin to loosen the grip of limiting beliefs, deepen unconditional self-love, and create meaningful change. More than a course on happiness, this is an invitation to rediscover what lights you up — and to create a life you love.
