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. Carrie Underwood said, “Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.” If you're feeling good you're going to love this episode, if you're not feeling good you're going to need this episode. Then share it with someone and let's stamp out this fear and spread Happy instead.The songs we used in this episode were all titled "Feeling Good" one by Michael Buble, one by Muse and one by Nina Simone. We don't own any rights. We would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for "Anothere Perfect Day". Check out more of his amazing stuff here www.JamesKocian.com or here www.Facebook.com/jameskocianmusic and tell him thanks from Happy Life Studios. Thank you for considering contacting us, encouraging us, sharing us or supporting us.

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.

Don't fall for it. Price and value are not the same. There are those out there who will try to convince you that pinecones are delicious. They're wrong. If we're not careful, these pinecones will end up in our tailpipes and stall us out in the middle of our busy intersections of life. Just what do we mean by that?

Happy is essential! When we struggle the most, when life is the toughest, it's imperative that we give ourselves permission to be happy (which is what my frog did for me last week) because being Happy is what gives us the stamina to face that ugly trial. Happy is what gives us the strength to fix that scary situation. Happy is what gives us the ability to win. Happy isn't just a nice option, it's essential to life.Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudiosEmail: Podcast@HappyLife.StudioYo Stevo Hotline: (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage: www.HappyLife.lol YouTube: www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@happylifestudiosFacebook: www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios Instagram: www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios Twitter: www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudios If you would like to help us spread the HappyPayPal: www.PayPal.me/StevoHaysCash App: $HappyLifeStudiosZelle: StevoHays@gmail.comVenmo: @StevoHaysBuy Me A Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/HappyLifeStudioCheck: Payable to Hays Ministries or Steve Hays and send t

Portmanteau - 2 words combined to form another word, like "smog" (smoke + fog) "internet" (interconnection and networks) "chortle" (chuckle + snort) or Juneteenth which combines June with 19—the day in 1865 that commemorates the emancipation of the last American slaves and the official end of slavery. It's been celebrated by multitudes for just shy of 160 years, so we figured it was time to join in because it's a great thing to celebrate, especially since we are the official podcast of the Holidays. Slavery is something that hits us all, but maybe in ways you've never considered.
