Ever wonder what the keys to happiness are? I read an article recently that distilled this all-important goal we all seem to have into three distinct action items:
- GIVE
- MOVE
- CONNECT
Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Really, these three things comprise a set of habits that will launch you on your way to being content and joyful in everything you do. Here’s another way of looking at it.
Create a central focus point. Ask yourself, “what is the one thing I am committed to completing today?”. This incorporates focus, purpose, time management and concentration.
Take time to expand your mindset. Stay curious, don’t limit yourself, surround yourself with people who demonstrate a growth mindset…keep your mind open to possibilities! “What if?” “Why not?”
Find purpose in the work you do-add value to others. This shifts your perspective from “what do I get?” to “what can I offer?”. Life isn’t an isolated effort; you are part of a bigger picture.
