Be Happy Every Day

Better is Impossible

By Steven O. Evans, PhD

Where are you today in your life’s journey?  Are you right on track and meeting all the goals you’ve been working on?  Are you at the start of another new year and wondering where the time has gone?  Is your life full of relationships, people, and joy?  Or are you maybe struggling with depression, loneliness, or a sense of belonging?  

There are many people that move to our area without any family.  We are here making our own way. We may be maneuvering our lives in an environment unlike our hometowns.

I ask you this month to take a step back and reflect on what really matters most in life.  What are your core values? What is it that you really want to accomplish?  What truly makes you happy?  What periods of time were you most happy, and why? 

Someone special taught me a simple two phrases.  “Be happy every day.  Better is impossible.”  The concept is so simple but also so profound.  Isn’t that what we all want, just happiness?  

So whatever is in your life that is keeping you from your happiness, take it and smash it with a hammer. Yes, maybe even literally.  

Let’s work together in this 2022 to make South Florida a place of joy¹ and happiness.  

Much love,

Dr. Steven
