Why is happiness science so
important?
It offers a choice.
It offers a choice to learn
a skill of how to feel better.
When people seek the care
of a mental health professional it is because they have no other alternative.
People jump off bridges
because they feel they have no choice.
This choice is the absolute
most powerful way to help someone who feels like devastation, depression and
suicide are the only options.
This choice is based in a
learning method that can be applied just as simple as arithmetic.
If I were to line up 100
people and ask them if they knew of positive psychology, 99 would most likely
say NO.
This is a science that must
be brought into the mainstream to show people they have a choice.
A choice beyond complaining
about you problems.
A choice beyond blaming
others for circumstances.
A choice beyond
victimization and disempowerment.
A choice beyond taking
medication which has a side effect of suicide, lethargy, weight gain, and loss
of libido or even suicide.
If I were to ask you,
‘Would you like to become
fat, never sleep again, never enjoy all that sex can offer, or potentially kill
yourself?’
OR
‘Would you like to learn
how to learn and implement happiness science in your daily life?’
What would be your answer?
Seems clear?!
Happiness leads to better
health, sleep and lasting satisfying relationships.
What is stopping happiness
science from being taught more widespread?
What is stopping people
from knowing they have a choice?
What is stopping you from
becoming empowered over your own happiness?
Instead of waiting for goal
achievement, the right person, place, thing or circumstance, you could
implement this science just like chemistry and math are part of your daily
experience.
At some point we all have
to take charge of ourselves. I like to
think about each person as a leader: a leader of your life.
Leaders are empowered.
Leaders have a choice.
Leaders can learn and lead
by example.
If you are a leader and you
are not positive, then you are a detriment to those who follow you.
You have a duty to work on
your own self-improvement and positivity because of the 3 degrees of separation
of emotional contagion. (according to 2008 Harvard
research)
I am sure you want your
loved ones to be positive and feel good.
I am sure you want peace on
Earth where people are healthy, happy, laughing and smiling.
I am sure you want to feel
empowered over your emotional and mental experience.
I am sure you want an
upward spiral in your life.
Taking the first step is
empowering yourself to make that choice.
Make the decision to be
happy and start from there.
Your brain expands, neuroplasticity occurs, disorders are treated as you take a conscious action in employing positive psychology according to a 2010 research study.
The first step in the 5
steps of sustainable happiness is EMPOWERMENT
This means you choose to
empower yourself over your happiness and no longer wait for a person, place, thing, circumstance or goal achievement to in front of your happiness.
Your happiness no longer is
a bi product. It is the bullseye of your life.
As you grow your attention
on how to empower yourself over your own emotional well being and employ
happiness science in your life, you can control and unleash your upward spiral.
I fondly call this ‘magic
and rainbows’
I recommend declaring your
own empowerment by signing this document in red ink and posting it on your
refrigerator as a daily reminder.
This is a certification
created by Lionel Ketchian, et al. to help you fortify your empowerment over your personal experience of happiness. Lionel has sustained his happiness for greater than 20 years and it was based from his 24 hour commitment to making the happiness decision. This is indeed the most important decision of your life.

The two skills to
maintaining this decision are responding to circumstances with happiness and
eliminating all negative thoughts.
Happiness science is work.
Maintaining your
sustainable happiness is work.
Recommitting to your own
happiness decision is work.
Learning how to sustain the
happiness decision is taught in steps two, three, four and five.
Making this first step, is
the biggest step and the only step to make in order for a strong foundation of
sustainable happiness to be built.
Do you want to choose
empowerment?
Do you want to take the
first step?
Do you want to make the
happiness decision?
Do you want to learn how to
sustain this for the rest of your life?!
Do you want to start your
upward spiral today?
Do you want to contribute
to this conversation?
