My Reflection on Life, Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness on this 4th of July 2024

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness” - Declaration of Independence

I read an article by Emory University news center from July 3, 2018, with the research perspective that suggests the founders did not intend the word “pursuit” to be a shallow meaning of “chasing” happiness at an individual level, but instead, pursuing happiness as a collective society.

Where they envisioned happiness FOR ALL. I can see that our founders wanted flourishing systems, like healthcare political education financial etc, that would ensure happiness as a collective society.

So what do we do about this? There are many answers from people with more knowledge then me. But I am a human. Who believes all humans have a right to happiness. And I have a long history of teaching happiness to others during their dark times from injury and help them facilitate healing and find the happiness in this journey.

What I believe is the pursuit of happiness for the country needs to come from women who have a deep understanding happiness, who are also fierce, connected, loving, strong women. As we are the ones who can help facilitate and cultivate happiness in our communities.

You may have lost your happiness, for reasons beyond your control, that are NOT your fault. And you need help finding your inner happiness again. If you’re not practicing happiness in your life because you keep taking your basic human needs off the list, pursuing happiness in your community may be a challenge, as you can only teach/give what you deeply know AND PRACTICE.

So here are 2 questions to ask yourself:

How can I practice daily happiness? 

How can I be the leader that RECEIVES payment to show up as the incredible human I am, with all of my knowledge and “zone of genius” traits to better my community in the pursuit of happiness?

If you’re ready to start living in your greater purpose and help yourself with daily happiness practices to be able to lead your community in their own pursuit of happiness to better our country, I’m here to support you and have your back every step of the way. This is a battle that needs to be had, and I’m here to support the passionate purposeful individuals here to better their communities

Your community needs your voice, courage and love

Your community and our country NEEDS Your Voice

And in order to teach others happiness, you gotta show up in authentic happiness,

not that pretend to be happy 🐮💩

Which means

You NEED to meet your basics human NEEDS

Like- play, happiness, creativity, food, sleep, safety and belonging.

So while we “celebrate” our “independence” this month.

This declaration was not written alone. Because humans are not meant to do monumental tasks alone.

We are meant to get support and help from others. So I invite you to get help, because your community needs your voice, courage and love

Schedule a Discovery Call here to learn how we can work together to rediscover your purpose and passion in the pursuit of happiness for all.
