Everyone wants a happy, fulfilled life.
But how do you achieve it?
How do you make it happen?
I have one answer to this question.  
It’s one answer based on my experience 
in working with people for many years
as a former college professor and a
licensed mental health counselor.
It’s not the only answer, of course,
but it’s the one answer I found that 
 makes a positive difference in people’s lives.
It not only works, it’s based on solid research.
THE 5 KEYS TO A HAPPY, FULFILLED LIFE
(Please note that Creative Expression
is the heart of each Key.)
(1) PERSONAL GROWTH
ANYTHING you can do to keep LEARNING
and GROWING as a person is crucial.
Be as creative as possible.
Think outside the box.
You have lots of potential.  Tap into it.
Explore, discover, create, investigate, construct,
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Give everyday activities a creative twist.
(2) RELATIONSHIPS
Build and nurture meaningful relationships with 
PEOPLE WHO MATTER IN YOUR LIFE.
Connect with people with whom you 
can openly communicate and share your
feelings, struggles, hopes, and dreams.
Surround yourself with people (even one will do)
who provide support, encouragement, and joy.
Find creative, fun things to do with people you love.
(3) DREAMS AND GOALS
It’s crucial that you never stop dreaming.
Always have goals you want to achieve.
It’s never, never, never,
too late to make dreams happen.
Dreams fill your mind with vision
and your heart with hope.
Don’t be afraid to stretch, to take a risk.
Have the courage to try something new.
(4) PERSEVERANCE
Nothing great happens without determination.
Once you set your goals,
be determined to make them happen.
PERSEVERE. STICK WITH IT. SHOW GRIT.
In the face of adversity, pain, and despair,
REFUSE TO GIVE UP.
Repeat to yourself, over and over,
”I can do it.  I can do it.  I can do it.”
And you will.
(5) SPIRITUAL LESSONS
Observe Nature and learn.
Nature is the world’s greatest classroom.
Whatever your beliefs, seek the deep
spiritual truths that Nature teaches..
Learn about balance, harmony, life, death,
beauty, peace, survival, and mystery.
Apply what you learn to your life.
