If Arnold Schwarzenegger loves Easter, maybe we should to. I mean, nobody wants to make Arnold angry! In this episode, we will talk about just what makes this week Holy, as well as highlight something that really inspires us about Holy Week, not to mention how Jesus was a Happy Lifer too! So stay tuned, you'll be Happy you did. We don't normally talk about religion or politics here, but since we are the official podcast of the Holidays and since Easter and Holy Week are Holidays celebrated by so many around the world, we decided to post a bonus episode. And like we already mentioned, Arnold loves Easter.The songs we used in this episode are "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

Whether it's a New Years Theme we choose to go with (which we recommend at Happy Life Studios) or New Years Resolutions, if we do them right, they will change our life.  However, setting them isn't enough. Oftentimes our themes, goals or resolutions won't happen on their own. Like we haave said several times "If we let it happen it won't happen". To see these goals and ideas accomplished we will have to push them, prod them, and/or poke them just like a cowboy does with cattle. The songs we used in this episode are "Get Along Little Dogies (Whoopee Ti-Yi-Yo)" by Woody Guthrie, "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

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.

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 or any worse than anybody else. So by winning a game, you're no better. By losing a game, you're no worse. I think by keeping that mentality, it really keeps things in perspective for me to treat everybody the same.” – Tim Tebow “The true measure of winning is the positive impact you have on others and the difference you make in the world.” – Nelson Mandela (2002)  Special thanks to James Kocian for the use of his songs "Mission" and "Distant Reflections".

Labor Day...what's not to love? It's a holiday where we celebrate working by not working and getting paid for it. No wonder they call it Happy Labor Day. It might be the only time someone uses the word "happy" to describe labor. What if we weren't only Happy with Labor one day a year? Is it even possible to be happy with your job or career EVERY day? We think it is. Listen and find out how, as well as find the flaw in the quote, "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". That quote was attributed to Confucius, Mark Twain as well as a Princeton professor, so you know it's been around awhile, but has it actually gotten in the way of Happy Labor? Steve Jobs was also known for using it in one of his speeches, but did you know that's not how he got his "dream job"?The song we use in this episode are "Send In The Clowns" by Judy Collins. We don't any rights.We also used "Still A Kid", "Some Kinda Way" and "Another Perfect Day" created and given to us by the amazing James Kocian.

According to Investopedia.com, a game changer is "...an individual or company that significantly alters the way things are done as a whole." This past week I've been contemplating the life and influence of Martin Luther King Jr.—the man he was, the world-altering difference he made, and especially HOW he made that difference and the incredible brave people who helped him change the game. Even when it comes to changing the world, no one is meant to do this alone.Here are a couple of interesting and informative links on Rosa Parks https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rosa-parks-ignites-bus-boycot and Claudette Colvin https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-43171799Thank you to James Kocian, for the use of his song "Another Perfect Day", made specifically for Happy Life Studios.

If you were to write your life story, would it be a tragedy or a triumph? "Truth is, you can't have triumph without the tragedy. There has to be something for you to triumph over." Life has seasons, like books have chapters.

We dream and set goals and then strive to accomplish them as quickly as possible. We want things bigger, better and faster, but detours happen—things and people can get in the way. However, those people who seem to get in the way are often the project for the day. And when life and circumstances slow down and hinder our dreams, it’s easy to think that God has forgotten about us, when in actuality, He’s just taking us the long way home. Because while we focus on the project, God focuses on the process. The song we use in this episode is "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp. We don't own any rights. I'd also like to thank James Kocian again, for the use "Another Perfect Day" and "Jonesin" which he created specifically for Happy Life Studios! How cool is that?
