How to Find Happiness:
Two Secrets If You Wanna Be Happy

Here's a little background on how I discovered these two how to find happiness 'secrets':

As I was growing up I noticed that my mom seemed to not know how to find happiness.

She was often uncomfortable and unhappy with herself. I got use to the mood swings. And as I grew older I realized most adults fuss, worry and fret about things.

Like so many parents, and adults in general, sometimes she was warm, creative and available. Other times distant, worried and frustrated.

I've always been a little sensitive others, so I often tried to "be the good kid" doing things to please her in the hopes of soothing her worry and fretful moods.

The moody adult mode didn't distract much from having a fun and happy childhood, though. I have a ton of fond memories of playing, laughing and having a good time.

These moods did shape my life, though. I didn't I fully realize the impact until I reached my 40's.

It's caused me to become laser-focused on figuring out what it takes to live life fully; with how to find happiness. Mom's and many others' struggles have given my life focus and direction, and they've served as a catalyst. And, for that I'm really grateful.

The subject of how to find happiness can be a slippery subject. I've been asking these types questions for a long time:

• What causes a healthy, attractive, creative and lively young woman, like my mom and many other adults, to struggle so much? I'd often see other people who weren't as cool and interesting as my mom, but they seemed happier with themselves. Why do some adults struggle with feeling good about themselves and life more than others?
• And at work, why does one employee leave a perfectly good job to start a potentially more lucrative, but definitely more risky business adventure? And another employee willingly and very happily work 30 years for one company? What accounts for the different drives and these different answers to the how to find happiness question?
• How can the single mom who's working hard and barely making enough money to pay her bills, seem more joy-filled and happy than the rich, stay-at-home house wife? What accounts for the differences? Money's not the key? Is it?

As the new year rolled in, during my daily journal writing time I listed all of my accomplishments for the year. It felt good. I like what I'd accomplished.

It dawned on me...last year was definitely my happiest year ever. More than ever before I felt:

• joyful
• at ease with myself
• at ease with everyone else
• in tune with my life purpose

Life IS getting better and better.

How did this happen? I'm glad that it's happened, but how? As I reflected on the year I zeroed-in on two 'secrets' that helped make it my best:
