Good morning, Team! It’s Friday!

Last stop on our journey to ultimate happiness as described by Dr. Amit Sood in his book Handbook for Happiness with a focus on cultivating emotional resilience.

The author poses three basic questions, and walk through the answers.

Q1: Who am I?

A1: An agent of service and love.

Q2: Why am I here?

A2: To make your part of the world happier and kinder.

Q3: What is this world?

A3: A giant school of learning

A few more salient points he makes in this chapter:

•Try not to value what you do only by how many dollars you make.

•Living an ethical, moral life is the greatest spiritual practice.

•Work as if everyone you are serving is your family.

Finally,

•The more you think of higher meaning, particularly in an adverse situation, the more productive and happier your life will be.

Let me boil this down.

-Shit is going to happen to you and you can learn from it by looking for meaning or be destined to repeat it until you do.

-Money alone doesn’t buy happiness and the love of money (aka greed) is considered to be the root of all evil.

-You have a job to do while you’re here to be an agent of service and love in order to make the world a kinder and happier place.

Happy begets happy so go spread some happiness today!

Have a blessed weekend!
