Reading the December issue of Essence Magazine with actress Gabrielle Union on the cover, I was taken aback when I read a section in it that asked the question “what 10 things can you write down that make you happy?” In the article, Gabrielle could only write down “ground beef, real butter, and imitation crab meat”. Although that was pretty funny, it’s a serious issue because can you really name 10 things that make you happy? I mean REAL THINGS that make you happy?

Hmmm…

How can you find your happiness?

  • So stop and think.Not about the question anymore, but about your own self.
  • Draw out a plan to personal happiness.Now that you hopefully have some idea as to what makes you happy and what does not make you happy, let’s set a plan.This might seem foolish and stupid, but it’s not at all. It is unrealistic to think that you are unhappy, but that if you really try you will find out what make you happy with your job.
  • Set realistic goals.
  • Work toward your goal every day. Every day, every hour, every minute is another chance to turn you life around and work toward your goals.
