What a revelation. An evening discussing goal setting and I should have been in my element. After all, I'd only been helping to formulate goals earlier in the day with my clients. Each day, it seems, if I'm not reading about the importance of goal setting I'm either ensuring goals are created appropriately or I'm working toward one.

We didn't expect to be sitting in a hotel bar with our eyes closed as part of a Happiness Project experiment. Yet for our month four meet-up, we did and we highly recommend it.

Consider this - a busy weekend evening and the family is sat at the table for supper and there is harmony. It's not often the case. Not in our home anyway.

We're either obsessed with exercise or we can't find the time to do any. There's not much middle ground. That's what I learnt at our last Happiness meet up. "How can we get more movement in to our daily lives" sounds an easy enough question. Yet why do so many of us see it as a low priority in our never ending To-Do list?

Who doesn't love to sing? Even in the shower or in the car. Have you ever found yourself singing along to the car radio only to find someone adjacent to you in a traffic jam looking at you oddly? Perhaps that only happened to me. Twice. Well fortunately our Happiness group decided upon a Karaoke evening to practice the art of connecting. ‘Any excuse to sing’ I thought. However crooning along to the likes of a Whitney Houston track is not all that we achieved at our month 3 Happiness meet-up.

After our first Happiness get together I began to notice another side to how beautiful our younger generation are and more so, how much we can learn from them. It was an incident on a short bus ride that prompted me to write this. Here's what happened.
