Authentic Happiness, I try to share it with everyone, seen and unseen people of the world!
Steve Maraboli said, βIf you want to find happiness, find gratitudeβ β which is precisely the target of gratitude-based positive psychology interventions. Gratitude evokes strong feelings of positivity in the person who gives it and the person who receives it (Schueller & Parks, 2013).
Authentic Happiness, this keyword was my breakthrough moment.
The shattering realisation of what I was doing unconsciously throughout my life was, in reality, grabbing the concepts of Positive Psychology and turning the Science of Happiness into my beautiful reality.
Being happily married for the past 59 years and still counting. Surrounded by loving family members, not forgetting my Labradors bears proof of this authenticity.

Yet againβ‘οΈ, when I saw the huge benefits of Solution-Focused Therapy to manage most of life's conflicts by looking at people's strengths, what they are good at and their inner powers to succeed against all odds. This is a springboard to spiral powerfully above most the challenging problems we humans face from time to time.
My training in professional counselling, positive psychology and specialised solution-focused programs are essentially the message my website : www.inspire2-u.com want's to convey for you.
Authentic Happiness wouldn't be genuine unless we realise as imperfect human beings their going to be all sorts of challenges forging healthy relationships to breakthrough to that state of bliss.
Deep down most of us, given a chance all strive for this to happen.
As we are uniquely different and imperfect human beings, challenges to see people's distinct point of view are always going to be there with a cocktail of emotions and feelings.
Some unite us with happiness, excitement and joyful in the exchange of conversations.
Others are negative and cause conflict with each other. "We don't get it, not having lived others experiences to appreciate their set of relationships."π¨βπ¨βπ§βπ¦
