To Be Happy, Count Your Blessings

from Tales for Life

In this episode of Tales For Life, we explore what it really means to be happy—and why so many of us chase it in all the wrong places. Using the delightfully exaggerated Norwegian folktale Gudbrand on the Hillside as our guide, we look at how gratitude, perspective, and the simple act of noticing our everyday blessings can shift the entire way we move through the world. It’s a lighthearted story with a surprisingly deep message: happiness doesn’t arrive after we get what we want; it grows from appreciating what we already have. Join us for a thoughtful, fun journey into the kind of happiness that costs nothing and changes everything.Music by Particle Dogs at https://particledogs.bandcamp.com/
