If you are reading this article, chances are you want to do your part in making the planet a better place. You can recycle, eat organic foods, drive an electric car but at the end of the day, what will truly save the world is for you, and me, to learn how to be happy. A greener planet, the end of war and famine, all that will follow once enough critical mass is achieved.
So work on getting to happy.
Easier said than done, right? According to the web, it currently takes the average person a good fifty years to reach a state of peace in life that they describe as happiness. Not surprising given the vast amount of information we have been provided with on the topic of happiness.
Happiness, Summarized by An Unexpected Source
There are plenty of opinions out there from respected happiness experts about how to be happy. I decided to write this article to present to you a different perspective.
As an analyst with a knack for synthesizing loads of data into their smallest bits, here is how I summarize all that avalanche of info:
- Like a cupcake, we have three parts that make us: Body, mind and soul.
- We must work on each of these areas to make sure they are in shape in order to be happy.
That’s it.
Work on your body, mind and soul and you’ll get to happy, the kind of long lasting, lifetime of happy that we all seek.

Here’s What Has Been Missing
The missing part of the puzzle is that there is no solid definition of what a soul is out there. We know our body and how to fix it. We now understand our minds more and how to control it. But we still don’t have a clear view – in fact, we don’t really have a view at all – of what a soul is and how we might go about fixing ours if need be.
So you’ll have to define for yourself what is most important to your soul and work on that whenever you feel down, to keep yourself on track on the road to happiness. Or, if you are open to ideas, you can use the summary we have come up with here at XLR8happy.
A Call to Action for Happiness
This is my plea to you though: please do your part to keep your body healthy, understand and master your mind, and whatever you do, dare to dream, stand up for who you are and tell us all about you and your dreams. In other words:
Be a cupcake, save the world.
