THIS is shaping your life (...and you may not even realize it...) 🤔

Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts.

Everyone wants to be happier. I believe this to my core, yet sometimes we are unsure how to become happier. 

 

Becoming happier doesn't have to be complicated. 


The science behind happiness shows us that you're happier when you make choices that promote the release of the brain's "happy chemicals."

 

These chemicals are endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.

Have you heard the inspiring story of Navy Fighter Pilot Captain Jack Sands?


As a soldier in the Vietnam War, Captain Sands fought, was shot down, and imprisoned as a POW in the dreaded prison of Hanoi. There, he was confined to isolation and placed in a five-foot by five-foot prison cell -- never knowing if he'd be able to see his family, friends, or even the light of day again.


To say he was in some pretty awful circumstances would be a gross understatement.
