Today in episode 46 we are going to continue our discussion from last time on the importance of being in connection. This can be particularly important if you are retired or nearing retirement. We typically have some connection by default if we have a regular job working with others. But if you are retired or are a work at home entrepreneur, you need to be intentional about being connected with others. Regardless of whether you are working or not, we need to be inte...

Happiness is future-oriented and it puts all its eggs in someone else's basket. It is dependent on outside situations, people, or events to align with your expectations so that the end result is your happiness. But happiness is not joy because joy is not external, it can't be bought and it is not conditional on someone else's behavior. In fac...
