"Everybody could just use a little more hope." That was said by Sarah Sharp. She also said "When you lose hope, you lose the outlook on your future." Sarah is the incredible Happy Lifer I met and had the privilege of interviewing in this episode. In fact Hope and Happy, as you will hear, really go hand in hand. "To have a Happy Life you have to have a Hopey Life." But why is it so important to buy a sweatshirt?? www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Stud...

Ever have the Friday blues? I didn't think so, but I bet you've had the Monday blues before. Why is Monday the day for blue? We believe it's because many of us don't enjoy going to work, and we can't wait for our weekend. We're hoping this episode will change that for a lot of people. At least that's our hope. Happy Labor Day Happy Lifer! A couple song clips we used in this episode are "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" sung by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong...and a little Stevo XD. We also used...

This episode was taken from a quote I got from Alicia Keys. Any sick salmon can float downstream, but one that gives life swims up it. If you're reading this, you've been given life like the rest of us, it's our choice whether we make it better or make it worse. If we add or take away from it. The song we use in this episode is "Gravity" by John Mayer. We don't own any rights to it, but it's a killer song. www.HappyLife.lol www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios ww...

A Sunday School answer is an answer someone gives when they don't know or don't want to figure out what the true answer is. We just say "Jesus" or "The Bible" and hope the teacher will move on or tell us the correct answer. For instance...Sunday School question "Why did Jesus die?" Sunday School answer "So we could be forgiven of our sins". This is very true, however, there is so much more and you're going to like what you hear.

If you asked anyone who has been to church a few times why Jesus died, they would more than likely tell you, "so we could be forgiven of our sins.

We all have a voice and a message that goes along with it. The question is What is it and How are you sharing it? Sometimes we won't share our message because we don't know what it is, and other times because we don't believe it's valuable. Either way, how we share the message is just as vital as the message itself. Believe your message is important and don't fall in to the trap DJ Icy Ice and I talk about in this episode.

Sometimes we focus so much on getting the "music" right and yet the very thing the music is there to provide we neglect...the environment. Which I would say is probably the thing that is the most vital. We can be so right and yet so wrong at the same time.
