Transcript:

 

Katie: Welcome to Everyday Happiness, where we create lasting happiness in about two minutes a day through my signature method of Intentional Margins®, (creating harmony between your to dos and your priorities), happiness, science, and musings about life.

 

I'm your host, Katie Jefcoat, and today I've got with me a very special friend. I cannot wait for you to meet her. 

 

This is my friend Lindsey Smith. She's a CEO, coach, and best self igniter. I mean, those words are magic. And I asked her how she defines happiness.

 

Welcome to the show, Lindsey. How do you define happiness?

 

Lindsey: Thank you so much. When I think of happiness, I actually go a step beyond that to think of, deeply ingrained joy. And when I think of what brings me joy or how I create sustained joy in my life, it's by choosing to believe that life is happening for me always, in all ways.

 

And when I choose this belief, I have abundant joy in my life. And sometimes I might choose not to believe it for a little bit. Sometimes I might need to process something, but when I'm ready and I shift back to choosing, I want to emphasize that word, choosing, because it truly is a choice.

 

When I shift back to choosing to believe that life is happening for me always, in all ways, regardless of what it is that's happening, it brings me deep joy because I know it's all leading me to where I am meant to be going.

 

Katie:  Oh, my gosh. This is so brilliant. I love this so much. It is exactly what we talk about so much on this show, which is we get to choose happiness. Even if it feels hard, we get to find those moments to choose.

 

So thank you for enlightening us. Thank you for sharing with us. I cannot wait for everyone to hear this episode. Lindsey, you are a shining, bright star, and we love you so much.

 

And remember, kindness is contagious. So go out there and sprinkle a little kindness around the world today.
