Summary
On today’s Motivation Monday episode, Pamela Jett reveals research showing that the happiest people in organizations aren’t lucky — they’re intentional. Drawing on the Foster & Hicks study, she explains how these “spark” people consciously choose happiness each morning, use the brain’s most receptive hour for positive programming, and build resilience despite life’s challenges. Her message: happiness isn’t accidental — it’s a daily decision.

| 0:00.0 | Well, these very happy people recognize that, hey, if you get up in the morning and tell yourself you're going to be miserable, it just might work to get up in the morning and tell yourself you're going to have a good day to get up in the morning and choose to be happy. |
| 0:13.1 | Now, most of us, by the way, are wise enough not to get up in the morning and say, I choose misery. |
| 0:17.8 | We're smart enough to do that. |
| 0:19.8 | Problem is we stay neutral. |
| 0:22.1 | We don't say anything to ourselves. |
| 0:40.6 | Welcome back to the quoteote of the Day show. |
| 0:44.1 | I'm your host, Sean Croxon, as Sean Croxton.com. |
| 0:46.2 | We got Pamela Jet on the show today. |
| 0:51.6 | And this is actually a throwback episode that I played many, many times over the years. |
| 1:13.7 | And I want to play it today because it's Monday. And I know a lot of us wake up on Monday morning and we're like, it's Monday. I got five days. I can't wait for it to be Friday. It's going to be such a terrible day. It's going to be such a terrible week. And when we do that, when we think that way, when we believe that way, we tend to set up what's called a self-fulfilling prophecy. |
| 1:17.5 | If you think it's going to be a bad week, it's going to be a bad week. |
| 1:21.4 | If you think it's going to be a bad day, it's going to be a bad day. So I want everybody to have a happy week, to have an amazing week. |

| 1:32.4 | create more happiness in your day, in your week, in your month, in your year, and in your |

| 1:58.4 | And people would say, well, it's Bob or it's Bill or it's Susie. And then they kept asking more and more people, who's the happiest person that you know? And people kept saying, well, it's Bob or it's Bill or it's Susie. And a pattern emerged. Certain people tend to stand out in organizations as having that spark, that vitality, that happiness that tends to come from within. So here's what the researchers did that was fascinating to me. |
