Before I dive in, I want to tell you a story I heard about John Lennon, a hundred years ago...but I never forgot it.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down ‘happy’.
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."

I freaking love that. And I agree.
The secret to life is...happiness.
And it’s not as out of reach as you might think.
Why?
Because happiness isn’t based on circumstance...
Happiness is based on...you.

It’s gonna be hard to find happiness without these four pillars:
PHYSICAL HEALTH
It doesn’t matter how good your life is if you’re not healthy. This looks different for everyone, but know that taking care of your body is taking care of your life.

Studies show that people who exercise regularly are 50% happier than those who don’t.
You don’t even have to be good at it for it to work.
You just have to do it.

MENTAL HEALTH
Having an unhealthy mind is like living with your bully. It makes everything harder.
It doesn’t matter how healthy your physical body is if your mind is always under siege.

Learn to meditate.
Mediation doesn't fix everything but it's important if you're serious about your peace and happiness.

SPIRITUAL HEALTH
Begin or continue to search for the deeper meaning of your life. That might be through...
Prayer
Deep reflection
Expressing gratitude
Living in the present
Love
For me it includes reading the Bible daily.
