RANDY PERDUE

I believe happiness is an inside job. It’s not
something you get from external circumstances
or things. It is the result of what’s going on
inside. A mentor of mine said that there is
almost a 100% correlation between happiness
and awareness or levels of consciousness. The
more ‘aware person’ can be happy almost
completely detached from externals while the
unaware person is unhappy almost no matter
what. Nothing you can do for them will make
them happy.

I’m convinced that the late Earl Nightingale
was one of the wisest men in the 20th Century.
He said that happiness is the progressive
realization of a worthy ideal. Progressive is the
optimum word I want to emphasize. If you
achieve a goal, it’s only the beginning of your
happiness. It is the constant and never-ending
improvement in all the dimensions of our lives
that I believe brings inner joy, peace, and
happiness.
Do you have a philosophy on life and
happiness? How committed are you to this
belief? Is it realistic? Is it logical? And most
importantly of all, is it helping you? Whatever
