We *always* have the opportunity to use whatever life gives us in the moment to make ourselves happy. We can be creative and scrappy, and we can always find a perspective from which we can see ourselves lucky and grateful.

How would you see yourself in your wildest dreams? If you believed you are a brilliant visionary and leader, what would you create? How would you show up in your relationships?

I have dates with my heart here, at least once a week, every week. This morning i forgot my headphones so it had to be a silent run, with no distraction or motivation from podcasts or music. I called my mom and that helped for a bit. About 1.5 miles in, it was just me and the ocean and the birds and the surfers and the shells and the sand and the fishermen and the clouds and the sound of powerful, gentle waves.

One of the building blocks on the Path of Happiness framework I researched for the past 4 years is allowing ourselves the joy of immersing in nature. Add to that running or any other form of physical exercise and you got yourself a serious dose of joy and a deep sense of well being.

You are beautiful! You are powerful. You have what it takes. You have choices. You are right where you need to be on your journey.
