Summary

In this episode, Robert and Sharla Snow discuss the pursuit of happiness in relationships. They explore the illusion of future happiness and the importance of finding joy in challenging circumstances. Drawing from their experience with an 80-year-old Mayan woman in Guatemala, they emphasize the role of personal happiness in relationships. The couple also examines the relationship between money and happiness, highlighting the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own happiness. They provide practical tips and practices for creating a happiness fitness plan, in each of the following categories: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.


Takeaways:

  • Happiness is not dependent on external circumstances or future events; it is a choice we make in the present moment.
  • Finding joy in challenging circumstances is possible and can be learned from individuals who have little material wealth.
  • The secret to happiness in relationships is being a happy person oneself, rather than relying on a partner to change.
  • Taking responsibility for our own happiness involves creating a fitness plan that includes spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical practices.
