We need a healthy dose of optimism to get through the coming months with a smile on our faces. We need to be able to say that we are confident in our ideas and abilities. We need to be able to say that we are excited to be a part of this new adventure. We need to be able to say that we are positive about our future.
The thing that I love about this time of year is that it is a little bit easier to look at ourselves through the lens of “I need to be a better person” and “I am capable,” as opposed to trying to convince people that we aren’t lazy and that we are not responsible. I like the idea that we can be confident in our ideas because it is something we have earned, something we have built through hard work, and something that we are capable of.
There is one thing that I think all entrepreneurs share in common: we feel the need to be positive about our future. I guess it just comes down to knowing your self-worth and knowing that you are worthy of a good future. My own personal philosophy involves a lot of work, a lot of risk, a lot of self-reflection, and very little satisfaction. I think that those things will make you a better person and make your future better too.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I wanted to tell you what I think you should be doing about your future. What I mean by that is this: if you are truly concerned about your future, you should be making it your top priority. What I mean by that is that you should be thinking about your future in terms of what you want it to be like. Not in terms of what you are going to do for it.
I think that the key to making a better life is to start by creating your own version of it. I want to take this quote from a popular TED talk by Brian Tracy: “If you want to be happy, you should be creating your own happiness.” I don’t want to create my own happiness so I’m going to create a version of it that I want to be happy.
It’s not a bad idea to make a bit of an effort to be happy in your life, but you can’t do that if you don’t have the right motivations. In fact, you can’t do that if you don’t have the right framework. Your goal should be to create a framework for happiness that makes you happy. The secret ingredient of happiness is not happiness itself, but the motivation to be happy – the motivation to create your framework for happiness.
The secret ingredient of happiness is not happiness itself, but the motivation to be happy the motivation to create your framework for happiness. Your goal should be to create a framework for happiness that makes you happy. The secret ingredient of happiness is not happiness itself, but the motivation to be happy, the motivation to create your framework for happiness.

This article is the first in a 7-part series on happiness, focusing on three things: The Secret Ingredient of Happiness, Motivation to Create Your Framework for Happiness, The Three Levels of Self-Awareness.
In this article I’m going to talk about the three levels of self-awareness. We are able to see the world around us, and we have a pretty good understanding of how our actions affect it, but we have very little idea of what our own actions are doing to our reality.
Self-awareness is the ability to see ourselves through the eyes of another, to recognize our behaviors and motivations, to see the consequences of our actions. We’ve all been in that situation of, “Well, I went to the gym today, but I was actually just eating chips for lunch.
