Happy Day of Epiphany to you! To celebrate this powerful day, we thought we’d share a little something different. It’s Jacob Sokol,who started Sensophy as a way to help people live extraordinary lives. In his words:
I used to work for an awesome IT company as a computer network consultant in Times Square NYC. I made a nice living enjoying all the cliché token things a “successful” 26 year old would want: A sweet ass apartment, a cool car, a fast motorcycle, a wardrobe that changed with the seasons, fancy dinners with friends, and some extra spending cash for Friday and Saturday nights.
What I didn’t have was an enthusiastic feeling when my day began. All the new techy toys in the world wouldn’t take away that feeling of “Damn, I gotta’ go through this routine again today!”
Everything changed in 2009 when I took 5 weeks off from work to backpack throughout Europe, alone! I came back to New York City a changed man and slowly started to figure out how I would alter my life accordingly…
Get a taste of his energy and enthusiasm for his new purpose in life with this video, The 12 Habits of Happy People. It’s derived from Sonya Lyubomirsky‘s book The How of Happiness, and as you watch it, please ask yourself:
If I practiced these 12 things, one per month for the next 12 months, how much more awesome would my 2012 be?
In case you’ve got sensitive ears, be warned – the occasional expletive is dropped in here. Don’t let it take you away from the message. And if you’re reading this somewhere where the video didn’t pull through, you can check it out on YouTube, or at Jacob’s site.
