Louis CK: Everything’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy

For a good time watch THIS: (Comedian Louis CK on Conan O’Brien… embed was disabled but link goes to YouTube video.) Not only is this video HILARIOUS, but comedian Louis C.K. points out some real truths:

  • Technology has made our lives are easier and given us more possibilities in many ways than for any previous generation.
  • Our “automatic response” tends to be to complain about every little thing anyway.
  • Younger generations can especially trend towards attitudes of entitlement or being spoiled.
  • We tend to miss the opportunity to live in wonder and gratitude in spite of our many blessings.

Consider the discovery of best-selling authors Marci Shimoff (Happy for No Reason), T. Harv Eker (Secrets of the Millionaire Mind) and others:

Happiness is not a result of wealth, but a preceding condition for wealth.  Yes, studies show that the happier you are, the more likely you are to become wealthy! 

We’ve had it backwards.  Don’t wait to have more money to be happy with your life.  Be happy now, and watch how doors are more likely to open for people who are already living in joy, gratitude, and satisfaction.

So enjoy the video, and more importantly, enjoy the wonders of your fabulous day.
