In today's episode, Ricky shares information on how to add happiness and gratitude to your life, even in times of challenge. Ricky has studied different forms of how to create happiness in life and the importance of choosing our thoughts to create the happiness we desire. This includes turning our inner critic into our inner friend and giving ourselves the gift of forgiveness.Ricky busts the myth of "fake it till you make it" and walks us through how to stay positively focused and move forward using the focus of "act as if." In other words, thoughts are either positive or negative, and we have the ability to look at things from different perspectives. This is not about being happy 100% of the time but looking for possibilities in all situations. We talk about how life includes painful situations and trying to eliminate or minimize real-world situations is not only unhelpful but unrealistic. However, even in the most challenging times, there are things to be grateful for that change our mental and physical response to the day.This is a truly positive and uplifting message and podcast. Ricky shares his passion and mission of spreading happiness and gratitude around the world by talking about the positivity and possibilities in life. About the Guest:Ricky Powell: I began a successful acting career at the age of 7 appearing with many TV and Film legends.
