Where Do You Shine?

Money is not the key to happiness. More ‘stuff' is not the key to happiness. Winning the lottery and spending the rest of your life on a tropical island - while intoxicating to the ear - is not the key to happiness.

What is, on the other hand, is exciting news.

Over the past few years, science and psychology have been experiencing quite a shift in focus, thanks to men such as Dr. Martin Suleiman. It couldn't have come too soon.

The New Psychology

Through his work at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Suleiman has created an entirely new branch of psychology. Instead of focusing solely on neuroses in life, he decided to study what makes us feel good.

Since the first days of his groundbreaking work, positive psychology has definitely caught on.

One of the focuses of this branch is - you guessed it - happiness. Through the work of countless positive psychologists, the path to such feelings has become more and more clear.

The Key to Happiness

They've discovered through their clinical investigations that happiness is tied tightly to your strengths - the things you're good at. People have been proven to be happiest when applying their unique skills toward a challenging project or goal.

You don't need millions of dollars or a personal island to be happy. All that you need is already within you. Discover your strengths, apply them to a challenging goal, and you'll see for yourself.

You're Never Too Old

Think you're too old to try something new? To chase that dream you've been putting off for years? Consider the story of the Delaney sisters.

Sadie and Bessie Delaney were warm, spirited, and independent African-American sisters who witnessed both the birth of black freedom and the rise of the black middle class in America.
With such a unique perspective on black history, the sisters decided to put their thoughts, feelings, and memories to paper in the form of a dual autobiography. Not so newsworthy if you choose to ignore the ages at which this work was completed.
The sisters published their story at the ages of 101 and 103 years old. You're never too old; the Delaney sisters are the proof.
