What makes me happy 99.9% everyday of my life is: my focus. Your focus becomes your reality and like you say Gary, there are pressures in life, stress that affect us all...in my opinion...it boils down to it's not comes at you that determines your happiness, it's how you respond to what pressures and things in life. Most people choose to allow the cares of this world to dictate their emotional well being. You have to take charge of your life, your emotions and decide to BE HAPPY. As in Bobby McFerren's song: "Don't Worry, Be Happy": <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnvSQuv-H4">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a></p>DuongSheahanMon, 19 Jan 2009 20:52:32 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362321<p>I like ur thoughts. Not to be a downer, but what happens to your happiness when someone in your "inner circle" is not happy or even passes away (which will happen). Now, where is your happiness? Your view just seems to be too based on the now with no view of the future.

I said it before and I'll say it again. You DO have the big picture and that's why you are so inspiring. I have just moved into a time in my life where I have what I call increased personal optimism, in spite of all the stuff going on "out there." I have a great family, and great friends who I love and care about. I have a home and warmth in the winter and more food than most people on the planet. I am so thankful. And it's important to focus on I do have as opposed to what I do not have. I am very lucky and I know it. And I see that you have that understanding. Great that you are putting it out there like that. Thank you! <br>love and peace!</p>Louia LandonMon, 08 Dec 2008 01:07:49 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362317<p>That's some very refreshing advice. Most people think that being happy is complicated when it really isn't. Cheers to you!</p>ddentremontSun, 22 Jun 2008 17:19:04 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362316<p>What a good reminder for me to work on my BPP.</p>Jon VictorinoMon, 24 Mar 2008 19:32:00 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362315<p>I think we all would be better if we were all able to take a look at all we have and all that we can accomplish. People today seem to get so caught up in what we don't have and miss out at all they have: good health, family, love, etc. My wife and I were actually talking about how lucky we have it last week while on vacation. To think about the portion of the world that is either in war torn areas or starving we should all be thankful we are where we are. Keep up the good work G.

Every event holds the potential for our purpose and destiny...it's all in how you view the events.

Still, I can't help but still feel the need to excel in something spectacular to make them feel jealous about me at our high school reunion.</p><p>Really... my life and ambitions are built upon this idea of trying to be the best. But, you're right... as long as my loved ones are well, things should be right in my world view. I guess it's BECAUSE no one in my immediate family and friends has been seriously ill before that I haven't lost my selfish goals.</p><p>Then again, I unfortunately don't feel like I've had very many GOOD friends. I often feel that friends are temporary... they happily use me for a while and when they get bored, they disappear. Sad but true.</p><p>My... I am rambling at this point... :P Time to get to bed.</p><p>Goodnight, new friend... may you stay around a while :)<br>C.</p>Casey McKinnonMon, 24 Mar 2008 01:33:18 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362309<p>Sorry, it's at <a href="http://oprah.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://oprah.com">http://oprah.com</a></p>MyrnaMon, 24 Mar 2008 00:03:19 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362308<p>Today was the perfect day for me to receive this pick-me-up.

To someone who has 'everything' watch Oprah and Eckhart Tolle's Live Webcast on Monday nights(you can listen or download anytime) and let me know if you get more love &amp; happiness.</p><p>There aren't many like Eckhart Tolle and it is a gift to hear him. Lucky us that Oprah is doing this now.</p>MyrnaMon, 24 Mar 2008 00:02:37 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362306<p>Shouldn't that be a "Very Small Picture Patch": Given that there is @6,658,662,410 people in the world (<a href="http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html)">http://www.census.gov/ipc/w...</a>, being focused on the 5 most immediate relations to onself, or 1/1331732482 of the population, it is a bit of a stretch to qualify this as "Big".</p>WalkerSun, 23 Mar 2008 23:19:24 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362305<p>Gary V...props to this message. Yup, when it's all said and done, you're not thinking about all the greenbacks you made or what kind of cars you rolled up in. You think about the moments with those you truly care about. Staying true to your roots is the key to any success. And it doesn't make sense if you're super wealthy and have no one in your life to share it with. Peace!</p>AKDocmikeSun, 23 Mar 2008 23:19:11 -0000http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/78881442#comment-6362304<p>Gary, so true man, so true. The fact is...you are what you feel. Biology states that we are what we feel. We are what we think. Being happy releases chemicals that allow us to function at a higher level. When we function at a high level we resonate at a high level and attract and effect those people that come into contact with us.

I think it's the same thing as learning the fine art of focussing which is skill most of us need to work on all the time and suck at. A wise man told me point blank during chat that my biggest problem was "my ability to stay focussed". Ouch. He then shared an original quote that I will never forget, "The sun can warm a field of daisies or it can burn a hole thru 10 inch steel" wow. I think of that every day now as I start to meander and waste precious time on things that aren't part of my top priorities or goals in life, the things I need to stay focussed on! Who was this wise friend? Our very own Chris Brogan.</p><p>Good stuff, Gary. No one is more focussed than you are!</p><p>pai</p>Paisano®Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:54:58 -0000
