You spend a third of your life sleeping—-unless you have young children like me—-and you spend a third of your life at work. That's a lot of time. But you know what? You really can create the livelihood you desire, make the money you desire, and serve the people you enjoy in the time that you spend kicking yourself for staying at your current job.

Happiness is a choice. This is what I challenged you to see in the companion article to this one, "Make Your Life Happy - How to Prosper and Choose Your Life Pursuit of Happiness." As John Lubbock asserts, "Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like a violin." And if you've ever played violin (Believe me, I did in middle and high school) you know just how hard it is to get a sound not reminiscent of a cat fight out of that instrument. Likewise, choosing happiness may not be an easy thing to do! Let me repeat that: Choosing happiness may not be--and is often not--an easy thing to do.

Do you sometimes feel like your life is filled with perspiration rather than inspiration? You're working, working, and working some more, but nothing seems to get done and you seem to be going nowhere. It's like you're stopped in traffic on the interstate of your life. If you're like me, you're pounding on the horn, riding the tail of the car in front of you, and using some unsavory or downright ugly language in your impatience to get a move on. There may be no evidence of exte al movement in your life but the engine in your car is still running and things are still in motion.

I remember recently hearing someone complain about how she lost her house because her 7-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage expired and the payment went up. The way this woman was talking, I figured the payment increased at least a thousand dollars. Curious, I asked, "Wow, how much did it go up?" and she replied, "One hundred dollars." She and her husband lost the house for one hundred dollars a month. Now there's just one word that comes to mind for this: Stupidity!

Loss is natural, even inevitable, as we discussed in Part 1 of this article. But why does loss have to be so hard? And what can we do to make it just a bit easier? How do we deal with grief? With loss? Even with grief about loss? Here are some suggestions: * Accept your feelings, particularly of grief, and know that they will pass eventually, even if you want to wallow in them. It is a natural progression, so let it take place. You will be okay... not right away, but eventually. You can't spend the rest of your life wandering around your house hugging yourself and crying.

Most people these days feel overloaded, overworked, overtired, over-everything! Not only are our plates full but our china is cracking under the weight of so much to do! May I suggest that boundaries are the key to regaining your energy, your peace of mind, and your productivity? Think about it. If you're going in a million directions trying to please everyone, will you ever reach even ONE destination?

As a fledgling mom, laundry is something I do a lot. Into my sixth load the other day, I adjusted that dial yet again and realized that this was a teaching moment. Yes, my washing machine knows a great deal about success—-and I would do well to pay attention. Sounds a little crazy, I know. But I really do think our everyday habitual routines are opportunities to learn something.

When was the last time you fell in love with what you do for a living? Could you ever say you've felt the ultimate work satisfaction? Maybe you're thinking, "Love work? Are you nuts? I've never fallen in love with my job!" Falling in love with your work can be as simple as recognizing who your real employer is. Let me give you a hint: It's not where you work, it's who you work for--namely YOURSELF! Even if you're not a business owner, you are still self-employed! Who filled out and submitted your application? Who did the preliminary research? Who went to the interview?
