Happiness – is it a choice?

February 7, 2014 By Elena Zanfei

Do you want my one-word secret Of happiness — It’s growth — mental, financial, you name it.” ~ Harold S. Geneen

We all want to be happy, and we’re all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeable true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.” ~  William Boyd

We’ve all heard it said that happiness is a choice so why would anyone intentionally ‘choose’ anything other than happiness? The choice to be happy is based on where we place our focus and intention; it is the mind’s ability to filter out any negative input and keep the focus on empowerment and possibility. In order to remain ‘happy’, our brain must continue to block or deflect anything that is in contrast to a ‘happy’ state. This choice is greatly influenced by our own resourcefulness that can, at times, be depleted by the magnitude (quantity or severity) of life challenges.

Think of resourcefulness as a bank account and life events as either ‘deposits’ or ‘withdrawals’ from that account.   Each of us is responsible for keeping our accounts FULL enough to accommodate life’s daily withdrawals.   All aspects of self-care such as good nutrition, exercise, prayer/medication, healthy friendships and connections, clear communications, forgiveness, patience (to name a few) deposit into our resourcefulness account. While all lack of self-care, or unhealthy work or personal situations, personal and professional demands (to name a few) are withdrawals.

When the withdrawals outweigh the deposits, it will be difficult for you to deflect life’s’ challenges and the ability to be happy will be fleeting. Of course there may be situations in life that can challenge even the most resourceful person, however, they will more easily and more quickly bounce back.

Success habits create a resourceful and happy person so, practice good self-care and empowering habits and by all means….   Be happy!

Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.” ~~ Guillaume Apollinaire

Once I started using the tools Elena gave me to notice what was holding me back I was able to get out of my own way and simply enjoy each moment.

I really was looking for help to change jobs. I thought I might need to focus on how to interview, change my resume, etc. We expanded the scope not to change jobs but to change how I live my life. What an impact!

Without personal coaching, I wouldn’t have searched my heart to ultimately find out that I was NOT in the profession of my dreams. During our coaching sessions, I made discoveries regarding my values, my priorities and very simply I discovered what makes me happy and fulfilled

Coaching with Elena has significantly impacted all areas of my life. It has helped me uncover a more authentic self and released me from fears I never realized were holding me back. With the help of my coach, Elena, I have confronted head-on, myself, others and situations that I never thought I could.

For all the years of beating my head against the wall with trying to change the world to fit me, Elena taught me to look within to hear not only myself, but also to see that changing how I react and respond to the world is the real key to life.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from coaching; I had heard of the concept before but wasn’t sure what to anticipate so all of my expectations were surpassed. I felt that having an unbiased ear to listen to me was so awesome, that it allowed me to be completely honest in my thought process and in all of my answers.

There is no point in suffering at the hands of your ego, when you can learn to dance to the beauty of your own soul’s music… and there is no easier way to figure out how then to call Elena. Thank you for everything!!

I partnered with Elena to help me transition out of my job into something more fulfilling and authentic.  She’s guided me through different career options, organizing my finances, connecting and communicating with my partner, as well as loving and accepting myself through good and bad times.  Not only is Elena a life coach, she is a friend, confidant and will have your back through it all!

Nothing seemed to get me far enough away from jumping right back on the rollercoaster of fear. I was ready to give up but something kept tugging at my heart to call Elena. It has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’m becoming more aware, continuing to develop and mature thru self-love exercises; I’m gaining inward and outward compassion and I’ve even started to attract more abundance and positive experiences, which is helping to boost my self-confidence.

I was struggling with feeling overwhelmed by life. I'm so much happier in big, big ways: enjoying a part time schedule to spend more time with my baby, I'm not doing things I feel obligated to but building win-win solutions that make me excited about what and where I'm spending time. I can't thank Elena enough for her helpfulness, candor, vision and ideas.
