​We’ve been selling the idea to ourselves that if we want a great life we need to be happy. But that’s a false idea because it’s impossible to be happy all the time. 

​It’s not only impossible to be happy all the time; it’s unrealistic since happiness is not the only positive feeling emotion we can experience. 

​There are two roads in life: one where life feels like a joyful ride and another one where life feels very painful. Which road are you on? Are you on the painful road? If so, keep reading so you can learn how to switch lanes.

​As long as we travel through the road of life we are growing. We grow in many areas of our lives, but the main and most inevitable growth is about expansion, about evolution, about being more than what we were. 

Being optimistic is like an internal switch you can turn on and off yourself. You decide when you want to be optimistic and when not to. Learn how to do so here.

​It’s time we begin looking at happiness differently. Happiness is not a destination to get to, nor a journey you go through. Happiness is right here, right now, where you live. 

​Happiness is an emotional state where you live most of the day. Happiness is a home; an emotional home.

​We all love happy endings, don’t we? In most stories we hear or watch we expect a happy ending, and if we don’t get it, we don’t like the story.

​But, how about in our personal stories? Can we have happily ever afters in our lives?

​We are not always happy and I’m totally sure it was not intended to always be that way; although I think it was intended to be that way most of the time. 

​Human nature is to go through a range of positive and negative emotions all day every day. But you decide which emotions you want to spend more of your day in. 

Most of us are used to think whichever thought comes to our mind. But if you really want to be in control of your life, you need to be more deliberate and choose which thoughts you want to pay attention to.

Valentine's Day is not just about loving others, it's about loving yourself too.

Do you even know what loving yourself means? If not, it's time to know it now. Keep reading.

​What makes people fall in and out of love has always been a mystery. Most people think it’s so complicated that don’t even want to go there.
