Seven steps to lasting happiness

Azim Jamal (the Corporate Sufi), a friend and fantastic motivational speaker writes and speaks on the topic of life balance at work and home. If you have ever seen him speak, you know what I mean. I receive his monthly newsletter and enjoy it immensely. I've placed a link here to a short article on his seven steps to lasting happiness.

"STEP ONE: DISCOVER YOURSELF - There is a purpose in each of our lives. We may need to dig deep within ourselves to find out what that purpose is, but the clearer our mission is, the better are our chances of accomplishing it. Each day is a new day, a day that brings fresh learning about ourselves and our environment. For this learning to happen, we need to be alert and reflect on our experiences. We are bound to learn at least one (if not several) powerful lesson daily, if we are fully conscious of what is going on around us. Every choice we make shapes our destiny. Therefore, let us make wise choices that are consistent with the type of destiny we are aspiring to."
