(they also explain how to best HELP SOMEONE who is suffering)

A sixty hour work week accompanied by not enough exercise, too much of the wrong food and a serious lack of ME time isn’t a recipe for happiness.
So here’s my tips on the three things that I have found work for most people most of the time.

PURPOSE: Learn how to find purpose in your life in general, and also how to bring purpose to whatever you do so that you are charged with vitality, a sense of direction and energy ready to burn.

And we need money to fund it all!

Whether you have a job or a business it barely scratches the surface of your needs if you run short of funds every month – despite NOT living an extravagant lifestyle.
