Sometimes the reason we struggle with living Happy is as simple as who or what we put on our dance cards. If what we "dance" with causes despair, anger, anxiety etc., we should dance with something else. The good news is, no matter who or what we've danced with, or are currently dancing with, we can always save the last dance for that Happy and positive choice. In fact, why wait for the last dance? Maybe it's time to switch dance partners now. Remember what brought you joy in the first place, and put THAT on your dance card. The songs we used in this episode are "Shut Up And Dance" by Walk The Moon, "Dance" by Petra, "Save The Last Dance For Me" by Michael Bublé, "Circle Of Life" by Elton John, "Rio Samba" by Liborio Conti, "Electric Boogie" by Marcia Griffiths, "Waves" by AVAWAVES and "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins.

Change can be a scary thing and there has been a lot of it going around the planet the last several years. So yes, change can be scary—terrifying actually—unless we see it like this, and then we find ourselves, well...feeling good.

Just what does it mean to win? There are a lot of views out there on what winning is. Unfortunately, some of them are skewed. Whether we win or not depends on many things, but none more important than what we believe winning is.Here are some quotes about winning we use in this episode. We thought you might like them written down to copy or share. They're some of the good ones when it comes to winning. “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” - Vince Lombardi “You are always a winner. Sometimes you win, sometimes you make others win.” - Ravi Shankar  “Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve ever done before.” - Bonnie Blair “Victory is in having done your best. If you’ve done your best, you’ve won.” - Bill Bowerman “Winning isn’t about finishing in first place. It’s about overcoming obstacles, and getting to the finish line.” - Derek Redmond “We play a sport. It’s a game. At the end of the day, that’s all it is, is a game. It doesn’t make you any better

The incredible Simone Biles once said that smiling doesn't win Gold, but we think it does, and we're not the only ones. From handsprings to flips to twists to Gold to GOAT, Simone Biles has a lot to say about living a Happy life and going for the gold. This is so important, because sometimes instead of going for the gold we find ourselves avoiding pain or getting hurt instead. Join us as we finish our conversation from last week's episode Small Flags HL425, you'll be Happy you did.The songs we used in this episode are "Gloom, Despair, Agony On Me" by Arbie Parnell, "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods, "Just the Two Of Us" by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers, and "Smile" by Jimmy Durante.

Do you like to win? If you do, you should listen to this, because how we view winning can oftentimes affect our winning. It's Olympics time, and The Olympic Games are the epitome of competition and winning. The Father of the Modern Day Olympic Games - Pierre De Coubertin, said, "The most important thing in The Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."  I love that quote. I also love the way Coubertin tied it into regular life, because that's what makes The Olympics so inspirational. Olympic swimmer, Bronte Barrat said, "It's not about winning at the Olympic Games, it's about trying to win. The motto is faster, higher, stronger, not fastest, highest, strongest. Sometimes it's the trying that matters." If you'd like more life and Olympic inspiration like this, check out this episode!

When you ask someone how they are doing and they respond with, "I can't complain," I don't know if I believe them. I mean there is always something to complain about right? However, when we do complain, we shut off the solutions to life's situations. It's true, we can complain, but we don't need to.  Sometimes being Happy is only a matter of choosing. Here's a great lesson we can learn from... Metallica??? Really? Yes, really! The song we used in this episode was "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica.
