Alright, round two!

Bonjour les amis,

Let's give this blog another try and this time, I'm doing this differently. 

I am dedicating future posts including this one to my Happiness Project in lieu of the book I stumbled upon at Barnes and Noble called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. When I read this book, I was hooked with the creativity, self-reflection, and self-improvement that I wanted to try to discover my inner happiness.

At only 24, I don't believe that I have reached the peak of my Happiness. At one point, I thought I have, but upon reading this book, it made me realize that I can put another layer of happiness in my life.

Just like Gretchen, I created a list of 12 elements that I want to work on, one for each month of the year. In no particular order:

Health, Family & Friends, Relationship, Attitude, Style, Career, Hobby, 
Money, Play, Passion, Literature, and Happiness

To help me reach my goals, I created 12 commandments. You might notice that some of my commandments are general rules that people should live by everyday,  but since starting this experiment, they mean more to me now.

Take pride in what you got
Failure is permitted
Act the way you want to feel
Do it now
Be more like Chrissy Teigan and Ayesha Curry
Identify the problem
Take it day by day
Open your heart
Be cautious but let your guard down
Do not overthink
Be intellectual
Find love

Now that I have an outline of my goals, I hope that you will join me on this adventure.

Until next time,
C
