Sonia Barrett | Happiness Is an Inside Job | Part 1 of 2

Why do we fall victim of societal pressure in order to become better than our peers, drive a newer car, wear the newest trendy clothing, etc? Why does happiness have to come from external influences and material effects? Why do so many give up on their goals? Fear of ridicule. Fear of failure. Fear of being alone? Fear is nothing but an illusion. It is the demon that must be slayed. How do you slay fear? By facing it! Every success comes after many failures. The most important aspect to achieve your goals is to start and make small correctons along the way. Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. Why are we discussing this on Veritas and not Sanitas? This is an opportunity for Sonia and I to lift you during the holidays. We discuss many topics on this radio program. Many of them deal with the reality we live in. However, it is important to pause and make an inventory of our lives to find out and discover that happiness is an inside job. It happens within us and no external force should be responsible for controlling your life without your consent. To enjoy life at its fullest, stop revisiting the past and worrying about the future. This is what causes depression and anxiety at pandemic levels. Instead, live in the present!
