life and we all deserve it.

I learned a lot about happiness
from my clients. As a Marriage, Family Therapist for 27 years,
I first discovered what happiness is not. Many of my clients
of all ages had many things happening in their lives that anyone
would think would make them happy. To my surprise, men and women
who had beautiful homes, cars, successful careers or businesses,
good health, wonderful children, and free time to travel and
participate in sports, were still very unhappy.
When I guided them through a
process called HART, which stands for Holistic And Rapid Transformation,
they changed their negative thoughts to positive ones. Then the
clients were able to realize the messages below, and believe
that happiness was in their grasp. As they focused on what they
could do to feel true happiness, their lives improved dramatically. |
