Happiness is the new rich.

Happiness is the new rich.

Inner Peace is the new success.

Health is the new wealth.

Kindness is the new cool.

We are breaking the paradigm that money will fulfill your soul. Money gives us opportunities; the secret is what we do with those opportunities.

Happiness can be free; it is about finding joy every day and gratitude versus trying to wish for the next big thing. This is our challenge to keep our joy in an everyday roller coaster, we cannot prevent hard times, but we can change how we react to these times.

Inner Peace is found through self-care, working through the trauma, feeling the feelings, not hiding from them, and breathing when the storm is screaming all around you.

Health is moving your body and doing the best you can with what you have that day; some days, it will be intense, and some days it will be a quiet session of walking and finding the motivation to keep going. Fueling your body will give you everything it needs, sometimes ice cream, but most days will be grapes and greens.

Kindness is the easiest of all; it takes nothing to be kind and only a few moments to treat someone with a different understanding. The hard part is it is about seeing that there is nothing in it for you. It is about shining your light. It can be as simple as sharing a smile.

So when you find yourself in a self-deprecating well, remember. It could always be worse, so versus sitting in what you don’t have, bask in all that do. Do a daily gratitude practice; find it in the everyday things, your morning coffee, the way the sun shines through the trees, a person that lets you in traffic, the feeling of sweat down your cheek after a workout.
