How easy is it to be happy? 
How happy are you?
Who is responsible for your happiness?
Would you like to be able to feel happy when ever you wanted to????
Your perspective on life will determine how easy it is to feel happy, how happy you feel you are, will determine how you take responsibility for your own happiness and ultimately will permit you to take control of your own emotions.
Try this exercise…

1. Look at the photographs and makes notes to describe what you see, what are the relationships, what might be happening, how are people feeling, how do you feel, what memories are flooding into your mind, what are you telling yourself.
2. Now ask your friend, partner, colleague to do the same
3. Compare notes – notice how your perspective of the world, your world view will influence the meaning you attach to the photos.  This happens in life too, every situation, event or happening will evoke a response from you that is linked to an emotion.

Try this with people from different backgrounds, cultures and countries you will be interested in the results.
The coaching experience allows you to explore your world view, to understand why you may think the way you do, why you see things as you do and to question.  You may start to see things from a different perspective that enables you to feel happier.
How do I see the world?  This is a question we rarely ask ourselves yet the answer determines everything we do, our beliefs systems are build on it, our fears are based in it, our decisions are made using it, our human reactions to events are designed to fit with it.  So what is your perspective on life?
The statements below are of interest and certainly made me think about my view of the world.  Read it and reflect on how you see the world and how that affects the way you feel.
It is also useful to see how much we have, be happy for the blessings in our lives and to think how it is for others.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world!
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Someone once said:

What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
