Your sense of reality is influenced by how you view and interact with the world,

Your frame of reference is impacted by how you feel and what you believe,

When you lose it’s a tragedy, while winning deserves a parade with banners unfurled,

Happy Perception starts with seeing Balanced Growth as built-in, not something to achieve.

We believe in Happy,

My Happy Friends!

Your sense of reality is influenced by how you view and interact with the world,

Your frame of reference is impacted by how you feel and what you believe,

When you lose it’s a tragedy, while winning deserves a parade with banners unfurled,

Happy Perception starts with seeing Balanced Growth as built-in, not something to achieve.

Balance is there equalizing contrasts and managing every extreme,

While Growth is about realizing better ways than were previously known,

Seeing others as being on the same journey helps you look past how things may seem,

Allowing you to consider points of view that may be different from your own.

Being mindful and paying close attention is a great way to deepen your connections,

Connections with others, with your senses, and with the world at large,

Do you mindlessly wolf down your food? Is your focus split in all directions?

Or are you able to be present, intentional and mindfully in charge?

In charge of your actions, thoughts and, yes, even your moods?

How do you see yourself? Do you ever spare yourself time to check-in and take stock?

To be aware of your triggers, your prejudices and attitudes?

Or do you just try to keep the world from knocking off your block?

Happy Perception can also be about changing your point of view to take a closer look,

To allow yourself to lean in and let your understanding of the world increase,

Rewarding you with deeper appreciation for the second glance you finally took,

And granting you greater ways to express gratitude and find peace.
