Too often in life, we focus on achieving happiness as the ultimate goal in life. We aim for the next job promotion or pay raise sincerely believing it's something that will make us happier, but when we get there we make an odd realization, the goal post has moved and the pursuit of happiness continues. At this rate, happiness will never be achieved…until it’s too late.
Fortunately, the latest scientific findings in positive psychology prove otherwise. Dr. Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison describes it best when he proclaims that “happiness is a skill that can be learned”. In other words, the human brain can be trained to become happier each day. Instead of being a destination, happiness is an integral part of your journey in life.
With this the “Journey of HappinessTM” (by TeamPerked!) was born.
