Would you be shocked to hear that only 33% of the people living in the US are happy?

Think about that. The Harris Poll for the last nine years has been surveying people to ask.

Basically just one simple question, are you happy and 33% of the people are saying yes through

tumultuous times, different political landscapes, during different financial, you know, parts of our economy, only 33% of the people

are happy, and the question becomes, how do we create sustainable happiness?

Is it realistic for you and I to be happy all the time and you know look

I'm a contrast guy like you got to understand you know the appreciate the darkness to

appreciate the light the warm day the rainy day etc but like I get all that but generally speaking I prefer to be happy like it's just a better state of mind because we all know someone that's just pissed off all the time,

you know someone that isn't, they're not happy unless they're mad.

You with me on this?

And I've talked about this before on Mindsette Monday about people that get squeezed. We all get squeezed in life, and when you get squeezed, like what comes out?

So the question is, like, are there hacks for happiness?

Like if you're like me and the path is, I want to be happier all the time. I want to be happier all the time I want to be happy as

as much as possible are there hacks for happiness well this is what I know there are

two sustainable things that you can do to create happiness and of course if I say to you right now

You're like yeah, of course like you're gonna say family and relationships and you know all that stuff is true being in a a gratitude state, all that is true.

And yet the science says, there's really only two.

And the first one is being of service to others.

Being of service to others.

I'm in this conversation with one of my sons, I'm like, look, when are you at your best?

Like when do you feel the most alive? He's like, when I'm helping somebody? When I'm giving back and that could be like, you know, working at a food kitchen or it could be like mentoring a buddy

it could be helping a friend move it could be sitting down with someone saying let me show you how to do this
