Prioritize Happiness

Simple ways to powerfully choose happiness in your life

I am committed to the lifelong prioritization of happiness!

As a child, I moved homes very often due to the fact that I was a military kid. Because of the constant movement, change was very much a part of my life. I never had the luxury of deriving comfort and joy from things that stayed the same over time. Yet, I was a happy kid and had a great childhood.

As an adult, I often compared my experiences to those of people around me, and wondered why so many people talked about happiness as a destination, rather than a journey. I took stock of my own decision-making, to better quantify what worked for me, and what I wanted to continue to focus on.

I've spent the last few years understanding the relationship between actions, experiences, and joy. Some of these learnings have been converted to frameworks that I use for my own decision-making, which is meant to maximize my long-term happiness.

A few talks where I share my thoughts and learnings:
