The Happiness Project is a project that I found on JohnChow.Com. The project was created by Alex Shalman and is about the pursuit of happiness. It is a great project which reminds us to continuously remind ourselves what makes us happy today and what we can do to make us even more happy in the future. I personally think most of the people in the world get stuck in their daily routines, get into ruts in life, get too comfortable being satisfied but not truly happy, and don’t have the motivation to get out of their routines, get out of their ruts, get into uncomfortable zones to better their lives and when they grow old, they end up regretting not taking the steps that they could have that would have made their lives more enjoyable. Working for “the man” is not my idea of happiness so I started this little blog and will learn and build in hopes that I may reach my goals as stated below. Good luck with your pursuit of happiness. And that reminds me, go watch the movie The Pursuit of Happyiness with Will Smith. A true story that is very inspirational.

The Questions

1. How do you define happiness?

   Happiness for me is spending time with my two daughters. When I’m not working I spend most of my time with them. I do as much as I can with them whether it’s puzzles and games or being outside in the yard.

2. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your happiness now, versus when you were a child?

   10 because having my two children brings me more happiness than anytime I could remember as a child. I had an incredible upbringing, but having kids has brought me to another level of happiness I never thought was possible.

3. What do you do on a daily basis that brings you happiness? (and how consistent is the feeling of happiness throughout your day)

   I spend time with my kids.

4. What things take away from your happiness? What can be done to lessen their impact or remove them from your life?
   Well, if I can make a living online, I can be home with my kids and spend more time with them.
5. What do you plan on doing in the future that will bring you even more happiness?

   Keep on building my online web presence in hopes to make a living and be able to stay home and work.
