It is already Sunday.

If you're listening in real time, which is crazy, hopefully you had a good weekend.

Hello, my name is Kramer, my mom's up in a couple of seconds with our weekly pep talk.

Talking about the four pillars of happiness, if you have these four things you will be happy

and you'll find out what they are, right after this.

I just finished reading from Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brox, and it's a tremendous

book about how as we grow older, we use what we have had in our past, all the things

that have happened to us in our past, all the things that we've done to recreate ourselves

as we get older.

And I think we're all always in a process of creation, we're all evolving and sometimes

you just have to step back and realize that what you've been doing is maybe not what you

should do or what you can do anymore, but there's something different that you can do better

or well.

So it's been a fantastic book, I highly commend it to you.

One of the quotes I want to share from that book is, happiness isn't found in some finite

checklist of goals that we can diligently complete and then coast.

It's how we live our lives in the process.

That's why the four pillars of happiness are faith, family, community, and meaningful work.

Those are priorities we have to keep investing in.

And as I look back on my own life and think about these four pillars, first of all my faith has

always been a tremendous part of my life. And I certainly haven't have evolved in my faith from

when I was a child and grew up in the Baptist church and went to church every Sunday with my mom
