“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes (Andrew Carnegie).”

We all want to be happy. We’ll try just about anything to achieve the feeling we call happiness. Sometimes what we try does the opposite of what we want. One thing is certain, we can’t chase happiness. Happiness happens often unexpected to us. When we actualize our authentic self and aspire to that which elevates us as a human being we discover we are living and working in a state where we are happy. Don’t settle for less than what actualizes your authentic self. Lift your eyes and heart and you’ll discover it.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
